Information about "Audacia Rooibos Wooded Merlot ohne Sulfite 2014"

With an intense red colour, Audacia Rooibos Wooded Merlot flows into the glass and the nose sniffs earthy mint and creamy berry aromas. The palate is wonderfully clear and fresh, with aromatic notes of fynbos that line the mouth pleasantly. The finish is long, soft and resonant.

Years ago, the Audacia Winery in Stellenbosch began to question the oak monopoly in winegrowing and experimented with native South African woods in the ageing of the wines. Today, years later, two South African companies have co-financed the worldwide patenting and Audacia has created a completely new category of wine. What exactly is it all about. Instead of oak, rooibos and honeybush wood is now used. Of course this results in a different, but definitely interesting taste profile. An enormous advantage, which only became clear in the course of the studies, is that the woods are full of stabilizing antioxidants, which make it possible to do without added sulphites. The result is new exciting wines with their own taste profile without added sulphites.
