Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for the Protea Merlot were harvested by hand with great care and a great deal of know-how. On arrival at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and crushed, after which the juice was poured into 10,000 l French oak barrels and 10,000 l stainless steel tanks. The fermentation on the skins at a controlled 26°C lasted for 15 days. The wine then matured for 12 months in second and third filled French oak barrels.
