Information about "Protea Merlot 2023"
The Protea Merlot 2023 unfolds with an enticing bouquet of ripe black cherries, succulent plums, and fragrant berries, complemented by subtle notes of dark chocolate and cacao. This wine presents a fleshy, rich, and velvety profile, revealing nuances of juicy dark fruit and fine tobacco leaves on the palate, delivering an exceptionally opulent and sensual tasting experience. Its exquisite harmony and balance culminate in a generous, smooth finish that lingers beautifully.
Die Trauben für den Protea Merlot wurden mit großer Sorgfalt und jeder Menge Know-how per Hand gelesen. Bei Ankunft in der Kellerei wurde das Traubengut entrappt und angequetscht, woraufhin der Saft in 10.000 l Fässer aus französischer Eiche und in 10.000 l Tanks aus Edelstahl gefüllt wurde. Die Gärung auf der Haut bei geregelten 26°C dauerte 15 Tage lang an. Anschließend reifte der Wein 12 Monate in Kontakt mit französischer Eichenholz-Staven.
