WINE DESCRIPTION
Shelton Merlot is crafted from grapes grown in the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina, where the region's temperate climate and rolling hills provide an ideal environment for viticulture. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fruit-forward character, followed by aging in a combination of French and American oak barrels to impart subtle spice and vanilla notes. This Merlot offers a medium-bodied profile with balanced acidity, making it suitable for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring. Its approachable style is designed to complement a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty pasta.
