mehrere Informationen

In a deep ruby red, the Porcupine Ridge Merlot from the house of Boekenhoutskloof presents itself in the glass and exudes the nose beguiling aromas of red berry fruit, dark plums, black cherries, fruit cake, gingerbread spice and incense. Aromas that also run seamlessly through to the palate. Medium-bodied with wonderfully balanced tannins, this Merlot with perfectly integrated wood notes caresses the palate. Lingering and lavishly rich taste notes end in a delicious finish with a high pleasure factor! This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this wine have undergone cold maceration before alcoholic fermentation to obtain the perfect extraction of colour and body. The grapes have been processed with great care to avoid the extraction of harsh tannins and to preserve the fruity profile. Part of the wine was matured in French oak, while the rest was aged in stainless steel.
