Product information "Pella Verlatenkloof Merlot 2018"
From the Pella Varlatenkloof Merlot emanate seductive aromas of ripe raspberries and black currant. On the palate, the tannins are firm and yet wonderfully ripe, in perfect harmony with the dazzling flavours of delicious black summer cherries and ripe plums. The finish is smooth and soft and the aftertaste pampers with a long finish.
The grape material for this highly endowed Merlot comes from old and woody bush vines from a once forgotten small valley. Now brought back to life as an absolute secret tip, these vines produce highly concentrated and complex grapes. The name "Verlatenkloof" means "abandoned pass" or "deserted valley" as a reminder of the once forgotten and yet so fertile terroir.

Das Traubengut für diesen preisgekrönten Merlot wurde handgelesen und bei Ankunft in der Kellerei mit jeder Menge Know-how und Sorgfalt sortiert und komplett entrappt. Nach einer zehntägigen Kaltquellphase bei geregelten 8°C fand der Gärungsprozess bei maximal gehaltenen 25°C statt. Nach Abschluss des Gärungsprozesses ging es zum Pressen in die traditionelle und manuell bediente Korbpresse, woraufhin der Wein 12 Monate lang in französischen Barriques reifen durfte.
