Product information "Kyburg Merlot 2015"
The Kyburg Merlot presents itself in the glass in a deep ruby red and spoils the nose with the scent of dark fruit, red and black berries, cherry as well as nuances of pencil shavings. On the palate, well-balanced and excellently structured, the aromas of cherries and fine berry fruit already sniffed 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.
