Product information "Clos Malverne Merlot 2020"
Clos Malverne Merlot once again embodies the definition of Clos Malvernes wines: authentic varietal character, fine elegance paired with great complexity and a long and pleasantly soft mouthfeel. This Merlot has an intense scent of red fruits and subtle smoky undertones as well as hints of star anise. An extraordinarily smooth and soft Merlot with a long lasting finish.

The grapes for the Clos Malverne Merlot were harvested in the early hours of the morning and upon arrival at the winery they were destemmed, crushed and fermented for seven days in open fermentation tanks at a controlled temperature. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed in the traditional basket press and then aged for 12 months in barrels of 80% French and 20% American oak.

Beerig und weich
Sehr runder und beeriger Merlot. Trockenfrüchte, samtig und süffig
