Product information "Franschhoek Cellar Merlot 2023"
The Boschendal 1685 Merlot exudes the nose with beguiling aromas of red cherries, ripe blueberries and plum, combined with a seductive hint of vanilla and expressive nuances of lush dark chocolate. On the palate, the already sniffed aromas continue, accompanied by refined wood tannins, intense fruit and great length. An elegant "cool climate" wine with multi-faceted complexity!

Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 27° C for 10-15 days. After an extended swelling phase on the skin, the whole wine completed the malolactic fermentation in the barrel. The wine then matured for 12 months in French barriques, 20% of which were new wood.
