Product information "Protea Merlot 2019"
The Protea Merlot bewitches with an absolutely stunning bouquet of blackberry and plum. These ripe and juicy aromas can also be found on the palate, reinforced with even deeper and more intense essences that turn into spicy notes. Fleshy, rich and spicy, rounded and well structured, this Merlot presents itself on the palate as an incredibly opulent sensual experience. This wine is extremely harmoniously balanced and ends in a generous, velvety and lingering finish.

The grapes for the Protea Merlot were harvested by hand with great care and a great deal of know-how. On arrival at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and crushed, after which the juice was poured into 10,000 l French oak barrels and 10,000 l stainless steel tanks. The fermentation on the skins at a controlled 26°C lasted for 15 days. The wine then matured for 12 months in second and third filled French oak barrels.
