Red wine | France
Rémyred is a unique creation from the house of Rémy Martin, known for its expertise in cognac. This is not strictly a wine but a 'grape berry infusion', which means it involves a process where grape and berry flavors are infused into a base. Expect a sweeter, fruitier profile that moves away from traditional dry red wines. The infusion likely involves berries beyond just grapes, adding layers of complexity to the aroma and taste. Imagine ripe raspberries and strawberries dancing on your palate, with a subtle grape undertone tying it all together.
The 16% alcohol content makes it more potent than many traditional wines, so it's not to be taken lightly. It's best served slightly chilled, around 16°C. This helps accentuate its fruity flavors while keeping the sweetness in check. This wine is very fruity, and not so complex. It is a simple but very appealing drink.
This drink is especially appealing because of its sweet taste, which can accompany various dishes. Pairing this infusion with desserts such as fruit tarts or chocolate desserts can create a delightful contrast of flavors. It also complements spicy Asian dishes, where its sweetness cuts through the heat. It can be served as an aperitif or a dessert wine, offering versatility for different occasions. If you are not a regular wine drinker but would like to get used to wine, this can be your introduction to this world. However, you will notice that this drink is very different from regular wines.
While Rémy Martin is celebrated for its cognac, Rémyred offers a glimpse into the brand's innovative side, showcasing how it can venture beyond traditional spirits. It's a great choice for those seeking a unique and flavorful drink that's both approachable and enjoyable.
A sweet, fruity treat! Not really a wine, but very enjoyable. Would pair nicely with a chocolate dessert. Or spicy Asian food... hmmm...
