Information about "Groot Constantia Merlot 2022"
The Groot Constantia Merlot enchants with enticing scents of ripe plums and dark cherries, complemented by a delicious hint of blackcurrant and elegant notes of vanilla oak. On the palate, this luxurious red wine is beautifully ripe, offering rich flavors of dark fruits, chocolate, and subtle French oak, all supported by smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity.
This Merlot underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with four-hour pump-overs during the first half of fermentation to maximize color and complexity. After fermentation, the wine aged for 15 months in 225 L French oak barrels, consisting of 61% new wood, 10% second fill, and 29% third fill.
