Budburst Merlot 2019

/ 5 ( reviews)

A silky and approachable Merlot, not from France, but from the ancient vineyards of Moldova. This forgotten source of exceptional wines has been making them for centuries. Filled with ripe plum and wild berry aromas, it's a soft easy-drinking red.

Moldova is fast putting itself on the world wine map. And for good reason. With more vines per capita than anywhere else in the world, it is a haven for lush, fruity wines. It sits on the same latitude as Bordeaux and Burgundy which, combined with low hills, strong winds to keep the vines super healthy, and flowing rivers, offers the perfect conditions for high-quality grapes with an intensity of flavour that’s truly compelling. Our Buyer Samuel is a Moldovan champion and would certainly recommend this Merlot Cabernet blend. Coming from cellar listed as 'the best winery in Moldova 2020', it's bright with refreshing red fruit and a silky-smooth mouthfeel. Great on its own or pair with pasta dishes, veggie chilli or sausages and mash.
