Product information "Stellenview Top Five Merlot 2020"
Deep cherry red in the glass, the Stellenview Top Five Merlot presents itself with a heavenly bouquet of dried cherries and fresh berry fruit as well as discreetly perceptible hints of smoke and a finely herbaceous freshness. The palate reveals delicious nuances of fresh red berries and ripe summer cherries with a herbaceous, invigorating freshness in the background. Full-bodied and with a well-balanced acidity, this is a soft and easily accessible Merlot for a variety of occasions.

The grapes were harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning and fermented separately in stainless steel tanks, depending on the growing location. Each tank was first subjected to a two to three day cold swelling phase before being mixed with selected yeast cultures to start the fermentation process. Once fermentation was complete, malolactic fermentation also took place in steel tanks, where the wine was then aged with French and American oak. A smaller portion of the wine matured in third barrels of French oak.
