Our Merlot des Bernaches is named for the hundreds of barnacles that grow on each cask as it ages underwater for two years.
Barnacles are fascinating little creatures. At Surfside Cellars, we believe in being laid back. Barnacles take this to the extreme. Once they land on a good spot, they never move. Ever. Which makes one wonder how they reproduce. Well, let's just say that barnacle has the largest ratio of reproductive organ size to body size out of any living creature. It's true. How does this affect the Merlot des Bernaches? Well, some claim that it gives those who drink it special powers. We don't know about that, but we know it has some of the most interesting and complex flavors that we’ve ever tasted in a merlot. And of course, it pairs perfectly with shellfish.
