Information about "Waterkloof Circumstance Merlot 2018"

The Waterkloof Circumstance Merlot smells invitingly of red berries, sour plums and fragrant earthy aromas. Elegant and with a pleasant acid structure, it caresses the palate with juicy fruit aromas. Great length with fine tannins in the finish.

Treatment in the cellar

Das handgelesene Traubengut wurde bei Ankunft in der Kellerei komplett entrappt, handsortiert und in offene Holze-Fermenter gefüllt, wo es spontan durch wild vorkommende Hefe fermentierte. Der Wein verbrachte 30 Tage lang auf der Haut, woraufhin die malolaktische Gärung im Fass stattfand. Anschließend reifte der Wein 18 Monate lang in 15% neuen sowie 85% zweit- und drittbefüllten französischen Barriques. Der Wein wurde vor Abfüllung auf die Flasche weder verfeinert noch gefiltert.
