Information about "Neil Ellis Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020"
This wine embodies the art of blending varietals from selected regions to craft an outstanding product. The grapes for the Neil Ellis Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot are sourced from south-west facing slopes that belong to the coolest sites in Stellenbosch. It displays an intensely dark color and exudes aromas of ripe dark berries and raspberries, complemented by subtle graphite notes. On the palate, it presents itself as complex and elegant with finely structured tannins. With excellent aging potential, decanting is recommended when enjoyed young.
Die Gärung begann in Edelstahltanks sowie weitere Mazeration und leichtes Pressen. Der Wein verbrachte 17 Monate in französischen Eichenfässern, von denen 30% neu waren. Der Rest wurde in Fässern der zweiten, dritten und vierten Füllung ausgebaut.
