With the nights getting cooler, we slowly start to slip back into the realm of comfort foods.

The De Grendel Merlot is the perfect food partner for the most comforting of comfort foods, lasagne. The Merlot has subtle tea leaf and Edamame properties that provide savoury interest to the juicy fruit on the palate. These integrate fine tannins and vibrant acidity to perfection and it finishes dry and appetising – the perfect wine to be enjoying with this Bacon and Beef Lasagna by Paul Heathcote.
