Information about "Boschendal 1685 Merlot 2020"
The Boschendal 1685 Merlot captures the essence of its terroir with fragrant notes of ripe cherries, blueberries, and plums, enhanced by enticing vanilla nuances and expressive hints of dark chocolate and toasted coffee. The palate mirrors these delightful aromas, supported by elegant oak tannins and a remarkable length. Its distinctive balance of fruity and spicy accents is perfect for culinary pairings—an elegant 'cool climate' wine revealing a rich tapestry of complexity!
Die 10-15 Tage lange Gärung fand bei einer geregelten Temperatur von 27° C in Tanks aus Edelstahl statt. Nach einer ausgedehnten Quellphase auf der Haut schloss der gesamte Wein die malolaktische Fermentierung im Fass ab. Der Wein reifte anschließend 12 Monate lang in französischen Barriques, von denen 20 % Neuholz ausmachten.
