Information about "Boschendal 1685 Merlot 2021"

The Boschendal 1685 Merlot exudes the nose with beguiling aromas of red cherries, ripe blueberries and plum, combined with a seductive hint of vanilla and expressive nuances of lush dark chocolate. On the palate, the already sniffed aromas continue, accompanied by refined wood tannins, intense fruit and great length. An elegant "cool climate" wine with multi-faceted complexity!

Treatment in the cellar

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.
