Merlot

VINIFICATION

Grapes picked from the original vineyard planted by Baron Bodo von Bruemmer on the top of Casal Sta Maria.

The hand-picked grapes went through a tight selection process in the vineyard and winery. After gently crushing the grapes the juice stayed a few days in cold maceration in small open vats (lagares). The fermentation took 3 weeks with a daily press of the skins. After the fermentation started, the vats were closed and stayed like this for a couple of weeks. The wine aged for 12 months in used and new French oak barrels of 225L and 500L.

CHARACTERISTICS

Fresh, with notes of roasted red peppers, chocolate and notes of cocoa. Firm tanins, elegant and good acidity typical from the region. Silky in the mouth, deep, with a long after taste with notes of vanilla and spice from the aging in barrels
