Information about "Groot Constantia Merlot 2023"

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.

Treatment in the cellar

Dieser Merlot fermentierte in Edelstahltanks und wurde in der ersten Hälfte des Fermentierungsprozesses alle vier Stunden umgewälzt, um ein Maximum an Farbe und Komplexität in den Wein zu übertragen. Nach Abschluss der Fermentierung reifte der Wein 15 Monate lang in 225 l Fässern aus französischer Eiche, von denen 61% Neuholz, 10% zweit- und 29% drittbefülltes Holz ausmachten.
