Information about "Eagles' Nest Vineyards Merlot 2020"

The Eagles' Nest Merlot presents itself in the glass in a dazzling shade of dark plums and exudes aromas of red currants and black cherries, which unfold fully in a hint of fine spices and fragrant vanilla. On the palate, this elegant Merlot pampers with delicious nuances of black and red berry fruit, enveloped by smooth, soft tannins. Fine hints of rosemary and olive tapenade give the wine a pleasant herbal freshness. A subtle peppery note perfectly rounds off this first-class pleasure experience and ends in a long and lingering finish.

Treatment in the cellar

Die Trauben für diesen Merlot wurden per Hand gelesen, entrappt und in offenen Gärbehältern von mittlerer Größe zerquetscht. Der Gärungsprozess dauerte neun Tage bei einer kontrollierten Temperatur von 24-30 C an. Der Wein reifte in Fässern aus neuer Eiche sowie in zweit- und drittbefüllten Fässern, in denen auch die malolaktische Fermentierung ihren Abschluss fand. Nach 18 Monaten wurde der Wein in Stahltanks umgefüllt und verschnitten. Vor dem Abfüllen auf die Flasche wurde der Wein leicht filtriert.
