Information about "Franschhoek Cellar The Last Elephant 2017"
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!

Das Traubengut fermentierte 35 Tage lang mit anschlieβender malolaktischer Gärung in Tanks aus Edelstahl. Nach Abschluss der malolaktischen Gärung wurde der Wein in 100% neue französische Eichenfässer gefüllt, wo er Wein 22 Monate Reifezeit verbrachte. Abschlieβend reifte der Wein vor Herausgabe noch weitere 24 Monaten in der Flasche.
