Description: Deep purple in colour, this Merlot showcases intense fruit aromas, where red plums and ripen raspberries stand out and mix with delicate hints of fresh herbs.
It is a medium bodied wine, with soft tannins and black plum flavours, which are enriched with some mocha touches. In the palate, it feels round and it has a soft and pleasant end. Ideal to be enjoyed in its youth, but also has the structure to be cellared for 2 to 4 years.
Details: After being harvested, the Merlot grapes were immediately crushed and given a cold soak of 6 days prior to a 8 to 10 days fermentation. For complexity, the winemaker team used both native and prise de mousse yeast, and the must was pumped over three times a day during the first several days. The new wine was given an extended maceration of 7 days before being pressed off its skins and finally, the wine rested in the cellars for several months before being bottled.
