Product information "Shannon Mount Bullet Merlot 2017"
The Shannon Mount Bullet Merlot pampers with an intense and complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, dark plums and black cherries as well as with fine earthy and mineral notes. Its well-balanced acidity gives this first-class wine a remarkable freshness with a well integrated and seductive tannin structure. Minimal intervention in the natural vinification process and the use of natural spontaneous fermentation produce an excellent wine of stunning silkiness and elegance!

The grapes were cooled down to 3°C throughout the bunch and after careful selection they were completely destemmed. The hand-selected berries were then subjected to a 3 to 6 day cold swelling phase before natural fermentation began. The fermentation temperature was between 26 - 30ºC. After the wine was pressed, the malolactic fermentation was completed in oak barriques. Finally, the wine matured for a total of 20 months in French barriques, of which 25% were new wood, 50% second filled and 25% third filled.
