mehrere Informationen

The Meerlust Merlot flows into the glass in a youthful purple colour with a ruby red rim and exudes intense aromas of dark fruit such as mulberry and plums with nuances of dark chocolate, liquorice and spices. On the palate it is full-bodied and juicy with a refreshing acidity, well structured yet smooth and silky with good mineral length. Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot give this wine an extraordinary complexity. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

After the alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the malolactic fermentation took place in so-called hogsheads. In this case 300 l. French oak barrels. Before bottling, the wine was then matured for 16 months in French neverseiche, 50% of which was new.
