2019 Merlot
$50/750ml
Tasting notes:
The superior finesse of this wine makes it easy to drink as layers of red and dark fruit notes unfold, accentuated by subtle herbal flavors and pronounced aromas of eucalyptus, sage, and mint. This full-bodied wine has a strong granular tannin structure perfectly balanced with a gentle aging process.
Fermentation and processing:
Cold soaked for five days in stainless steel. The fermentation process continues with two pump-overs per day for three weeks using a variety of aging vessels. Our gentle and complex aging process gives the wine time to self-express its varietal characteristics, preserving the fruit integrity.
Food pairing:
Gouda and goat cheese, roasted vegetables, grilled pork chops.
