Product information "Guardian Peak Merlot 2023"
The Guardian Peak Merlot is an intense, fruity and typically South African Merlot, produced to be enjoyed young. When poured into the glass, the deep red drop of Merlot is pampered by aromas of ripe cherries and plums, paired with a hint of spicy tobacco nuances as well as fine hints of fragrant leather. These impressions are repeated on the palate, merging into a filigree play of acids and ending long and persistent.

Fermentation was carried out at 28°C partly in open tanks and partly in closed tanks. In the open tanks, the mash cake was regularly submerged manually, in the closed tanks, the wine was regularly and automatically distributed by pump to the mash cake floating on top. This process lasted about 14 days. The wine then matured for 10 months in second and third filled barrels made of American and French oak.
