mehrere Informationen

The Niepoort Melusina Tinto presents itself in the glass with a vivid ruby red colour and exudes aromas of wild fruits, fine spices and fragrant tea leaves, which combine harmoniously with a balsamic profile to produce a complex and captivating aroma. On the palate it is elegant with a distinct mineral profile. Its rich mouthfeel, well-balanced acidity and smooth, soft tannins make it an absolute delight. Fresh and invigorating on the finish with fine hints of subtle minerality. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, with high acidity and balanced sugar levels; after selection, the grapes were completely destemmed. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with a maceration period of 8-15 days. 15% of the wine was matured for 12 months in pre-stocked French oak barrels.
