Information about "Meerlust Merlot 2020"
The Meerlust Merlot flows into the glass in a youthful purple colour with a ruby red rim and exudes intense aromas of dark fruit such as mulberry and plums with nuances of dark chocolate, liquorice and spices. On the palate it is full-bodied and juicy with a refreshing acidity, well structured yet smooth and silky with good mineral length. Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot give this wine an extraordinary complexity.

Nach der Ernte von Hand wurden die Trauben sorgfälltig sortiert und in Edelstahltanks fermentiert mit tägliche Remontage zur schonende Extraktion. Ein Tein des Weins wurde vor dem Pressen drei Wochen lang auf der Haut vergoren. Malolaktische Gärung fand in sogenannten Hogsheads, in diesem Fall 300 l. Fässer aus französischer Eiche statt. Vor der Abfüllung reifte der Wein anschließend für 17 Monate in französischer Neverseiche, wovon 50% Neu.
