Alain de la Treille Merlot is crafted from carefully selected Merlot grapes grown in the Loire Valley, France. The region's temperate climate, with its warm summers and mild winters, contributes to the development of ripe fruit flavors while maintaining balanced acidity. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character. It is aged briefly in oak barrels, adding subtle complexity without overpowering the varietal's natural expression. This Merlot offers a medium-bodied profile with notes of red berries and soft tannins, making it an approachable choice for everyday enjoyment.
