Description
The Baiocco Merlot from the DOC of Ticino in Switzerland is made in a Bordelaise style, with a maceration period of 8-12 days followed by stainless steel fermentation. A proportion is aged in old oak to give some texture and body. The wine is beautifully fresh with complex red berry fruit laced with liquorice and roasted notes. Impeccably balanced on the finish, this is a wonderful alternative to right bank claret and a great wine to slot into a blind tasting.
The region of Ticino is an Italian speaking region of southern Switzerland just north of Lugano and not a million miles from the Italian border.

2020 ‘O Font’ Les Deux Cols, Vin de France
Grenache Blend
Les Deux Cols is a joint venture between Ireland's leading Rhone importer, Simon Tyrell and Charles Derain, one time Sommelier to Alain Ducasse at Le Louis XV in Paris. This Grenache Noir dominated blend is whole bunch and foot trodden, natural yeast fermented in concrete tanks and then matured in a mixture of old barriques and larger demi-muid barrels. Pale in the glass, this is fresh and easy with red fruits and a hint of spice. Hand harvesting takes place at least a week earlier than the neighbouring properties allowing for a fresher style, and all vineyards are either organic or in conversion with some biodynamic practices in use.
