Product information "Kyburg Merlot 2011"
The Kyburg Merlot presents itself in the glass of a deep and wonderfully extracted colour and pampers the nose with the scent of red berries as well as fine hints of dark cherry and fragrant pencil shavings. On the palate, well balanced and excellently structured, the already sniffed aromas of red and black cherries and fine berry fruit unfold. On the rear palate a good portion of fruit and wood tannin follows with a pleasant and long lasting finish.

The grapes for the Kyburg Merlot were harvested by hand with great care and upon arrival in the cellar they underwent a four-day cold soaking phase. After pressing, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged for 12 months in French barriques, 20% of which were new wood and 80% second barrels.
