Information about "Eikendal Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022"
This Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot excels in the signature Eikendal style, showcasing elegance and body. The fragrant bouquet unveils ripe blackberries and blackcurrants. On the palate, the classic cassis flavor is complemented by earthy undertones from the Cabernet Sauvignon. Hints of spicy, sweet French oak integrate beautifully with the fruit, achieving perfect harmony. The vibrant Merlot fruit is supported by a backbone of fine tannins, creating delectably smooth drinking.
Die Trauben wurden entrappt, von Hand sortiert und sanft in den Tank gepumpt um keine harten Tannine zu extrahieren.
Nach der Gärung hat der Wein eine zwei-wöchige verlängerte Mazeration für bessere Struktur, gefolgt von einer sanften Pressung und darauf eine malolaktische Gärung. Der Wein reifte dann 12 Monate lang in 300-L Eichenfässern, wobei 15 % neue Eiche verwendet wurde.
