Product information "Groot Constantia Merlot 2018"
The Groot Constantia Merlot has a seductive bouquet of ripe plums and black cherries, as well as a delicious hint of blackcurrant and subtle oak wood notes. On the palate this rich red wine presents itself immensely ripe with intense nuances of black fruits and subtle notes of French oak, framed by soft tannin and a fresh play of acidity.

This Merlot fermented in stainless steel tanks and was circulated every four hours during the first half of the fermentation process to transfer maximum colour and complexity to the wine. Once the fermentation process was completed, the wine matured for 18 months in 225 l French oak barrels, 61% of which were new wood, 10% second and 29% third.
