WINE DESCRIPTION
HobNob Merlot is a collaboration between the Deutsch family and Les Vins Georges Dubœuf from Beaujolais. The term HobNob, coined in the 18th century, refers to people drinking with each other, toasting with their glasses, rubbing shoulders, and celebrating various moments and milestones. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the warm south of France in the region of Languedoc.
The wines are vinified and aged in inert vessels with the aim of producing fruit forward, refreshing and approachable wines. This Merlot is brimming with bright plummy fruit and succulent black cherries.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
HobNob Merlot shimmers in the glass with a medium ruby hue.The nose burst with aromas of bright cherry, blackberry and red plum. On the palate, soft tannins are balanced by vibrant acidity giving a smooth texture and drinkability to the wine. The wine culminates on a succulent black fruited note with a ripe plummy finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: HobNob
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
