Information about "Ernie Els Major Series Merlot 2022"
The Ernie Els Major Series Merlot 2022 manifests a refined Merlot character! Its captivating nose features ripe plums complemented by earthy tones and showcases complex notes of both red and black cherries, with a hint of mint and a layer of vanilla oak spice. The palate is medium-bodied, where sweet oak nuances harmonize with a subtle saline touch. A fresh acidity lends vibrancy, culminating in a clean, lingering finish that enchants the palate.
Nach der Lese in den frühen Morgenstunden wurden die Trauben per Hand sortiert und leicht gequetscht, wonach sie in offenen Edelstahltanks fermentierten. Die Maischegärung erfolgte für 7 - 14 Tage auf der Haut. Nach dem Abpressen reifte der Wein 16 Monate lang in 300 Liter Fässern aus französischer Eiche.
