Product information "Villiera Monro Merlot 2022"
The Villiera Monro Merlot presents an immensely intense and aromatic bouquet of ripe berry fruit and hints of dark chocolate, fine spices and fragrant vanilla. On the palate, deliciously layered nuances of Black Forest cherry pie ensnare the senses - superbly balanced with a velvety texture, lovely grip, stunning concentration and remarkable length. Highly endowed Merlot pleasure!

Treatment in the cellar
Both the pumpover and punch down systems were used for extraction
purposes and a portion was taken through to the final blending stage
without the use of preservative. After pressing, the wine was racked to
French oak barrels (65% new) for MLF( malolactic fermentation) and maturation. After two barrel
rackings and 18 months the wine was blended and bottled.
