A fabulous organic Merlot - fruity yet fresh.
The grapes were manually harvested and vinification begins with a prefermentation cold soak at 8°C for a week in order to extract the fruit. Alcoholic fermentation takes place between 25°C and 28°C with a pumpover program determined by daily tasting. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally in stainless steel tanks and 20% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 6 months; after this the wine blended in order to obtain a more complex character.
Tasting note: Complex nose with ripe dark plum flesh and leafy notes and a alate of rich, fleshy fruit, earthy notes and dark spice.
Food match: Lean red and white meats such as turkey. Also pairs well with ripe cheeses such as Camembert, Roquefort, and Gruyere with nuts, walnuts or figs.
