Casey @ Travelling Corkscrew

There’s something very relaxing about an easy drinking French red wine. We recently cracked this Maison Castel 2016 Merlot #sample from 🇫🇷’s southern Languedoc Region and the contents vanished in a blink of an eye 👁.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Has that ever happened to you? 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the glass it’s a deep velvet red colour. Red fruits and savoury notes with a sprinkling of spice come through on the nose. While in the mouth it has a nice oomph of juicy plummy flavour and smooth tannins.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve teamed up with Kollaras to try some of the French range they distribute here in Aussie to help celebrate #BastilleDay this Saturday 14th of July.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

Pretty good. Smooth, a little dry. Not sour at all. About $12
