Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for the Keermont Merlot were hand-picked at optimal ripeness and vinified separately. The fermentation process took place in an incredibly gentle manner with minimal intervention in the natural processes in open fermenters and with the aid of traditional methods. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 27 months before being bottled by hand without filtering or refining.
