GRAY MONK MERLOT 750 ml

Gray Monk Merlot stands out among Canadian red wines, drawing its character from grapes grown in the southern Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. This Merlot reflects the region's distinct landscape, offering a compelling choice for red wine enthusiasts seeking something authentic and expressive.

As it fills the glass, the deep garnet red color signals richness waiting to unfold. Swirl gently, and the nose reveals an enticing blend of black cherry and roasted coffee bean, woven with sweet oak and dark chocolate. These aromas draw you closer, hinting at the pleasures ahead.

Sipping brings a medium-bodied sensation where soft tannins provide gentle structure. Ripe cherry and plum fruit dominate, lifted by touches of cocoa and spice that add warmth and intrigue. The experience evolves into a lingering finish, echoing black tea, red berry, cocoa, and spicy oak for a memorable close.

Behind this profile lies careful handling: the juice completed malolactic fermentation across 2-3 weeks, then spent 8 months in oak barrels. Fining and minimal filtration before bottling sharpened its varietal traits, ensuring every bottle delivers true-to-form vibrancy.

Whether pairing with hearty dishes or savoring solo, Gray Monk Merlot brings British Columbia's Okanagan heritage to your table. This 750 ml expression at 12% ABV suits relaxed gatherings or quiet reflections, embodying quality in every pour. Explore this Merlot to discover why it earns a place in discerning collections.

Okanagan Valley Merlot lovers appreciate its balance—sweetness level 01 keeps it versatile without overwhelming. Gray Monk delivers consistent excellence from Canada's premier wine-growing area, making it a smart addition for anyone building a selection of bold reds.
