Product information "Thelema Merlot 2013"
The Thelema Merlot has a bewitching scent of clear red fruit aromas, paired with subtle hints of fine spices. On the palate there are lavishly concentrated taste nuances with wonderfully soft and polished tannins. A delicious hint of dark chocolate completes this remarkably balanced Merlot and makes for an irresistible pleasure experience!

The grape material was completely destemmed, sorted by hand, crushed and subjected to a two-day cold swelling phase in steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine remained on the skins for two days before being pressed and transferred to barriques for malolactic fermentation, where it was left to mature for 18 months. Only French barriques were used, of which 30% were new wood and 70% were pre-fermented wood.
