Product information "Lanzerac Merlot 2022"
The Lanzerac Merlot presents itself in the glass of gorgeous deep red color and ensnares the nose with beguiling aromas of ripe red berries, cocoa, fine mint and chocolate. On the palate, it presents itself with a well-balanced tannic structure, a full body and lush fruit, as well as a long-lasting finish.

The grapes were hand-sorted with great care after harvesting and then completely destemmed, after which the individual berries were subjected to a second selection by hand and then lightly crushed. Fermentation took place with regular pumping over (every four hours) in stainless steel tanks to extract maximum color and aromas. The Merlot fermented dry on the skins before pressing, with the free-run juice and the pressed juice fermented separately kept in stainless steel tanks. Only part of the Merlot went through malolactic fermentation, while the other part remained in the tank. The wine then aged for 12 months in a combination of new, second, as well as third-fill French oak barrels.
