Information about "La Bri Merlot 2022"
The La Bri Merlot captivates with its deep garnet color and multifaceted bouquet. Aromas of smoky bacon, violet, and juicy mulberries blend into a complex scent profile. On the palate, the wine is juicy and soft, further enhanced by notes of dark chocolate. The well-integrated tannins and structured acidity lead to a long and harmonious finish. The label features the Cape March Lily (Amarylis belladonna), an elegant pink flower that emphasizes the wine's graceful character. This Merlot offers elegance and sophistication while standing out for its depth and complexity. Just as the name Belladonna denotes a woman who possesses both beauty and character, the La Bri Merlot perfectly embodies these traits!
The hand-harvested grapes fermented under temperature control in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, malolactic conversion occurred in barrels, where the wine aged for 16 months in French oak barriques, 24% of which were new.
