The Tulip Merlot

Always good, this full-fruited, medium-bodied red wine. The French drink this with everything on the table, from the starter salad to the cheese platter. Color, taste: red, smooth Grape variety: merlot Country, region: France, Pays d'Oc Delicious with: Pasta, Pork Awarded: De Grote Hamersma 8+ La Tulipe is the name of a series of tasty wines from France. This smooth red wine made from the merlot grape comes from the Languedoc. It is full of fruity juice, think ripe cherry and red currant, complemented by a hint of spice. Because of its smooth structure, it is nice to enjoy as a drink, but it has enough body for spaghetti bolognese or a spicy meatball. It is suitable to drink at room temperature, which makes it come across soft, but you can also chill it slightly, which brings out its fruitiness better.
