Merlot

R160,00

After destemming, the grape must is subjected to cold maceration for 48 hours before fermentation is initiated in open-top stainless steel tanks. Regular pump overs and manual punch downs are done during fermentation to maximise flavour extraction. Post-fermentation the wine is left on its skins for an extended 21 days after fermentation to further soften and integrate tannins.

The wine is sent straight to the barrel post-fermentation in the tank. It is then aged in 225L French oak barrels for 16months, 15% new oak and the rest of the wine in 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill oak barrels.

Alcohol 14.0%
