Information about "Groot Constantia Merlot 2022"
The Groot Constantia Merlot captivates with its alluring aromas of ripe plums and black cherries, accented by a delightful hint of blackcurrant and subtle vanilla oak notes. On the palate, this opulent red wine offers a remarkably ripe experience, featuring intense flavors of dark fruits, chocolate, and nuanced French oak, all framed by velvety tannins and a refreshing acidity.
This Merlot underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with four-hour pump-overs during the first half of fermentation to maximize color and complexity. After fermentation, the wine aged for 15 months in 225 L French oak barrels, consisting of 61% new wood, 10% second fill, and 29% third fill.
