Product information "Rickety Bridge Merlot 2020"
In a deep black ruby red, the Rickety Bridge Merlot flows into the glass and exudes incredibly intense aromas of ripe plums and red cherries with fine herbal nuances and a hint of wood. The palate is lush and juicy, full of red currant and blueberry aromas with impressive and enticing notes of dark chocolate. Beautifully structured with soft tannins and a long and lingering finish.

The fermentation took place at a constant 25° - 30°C. The grapes were pressed 21 days later. Malolactic fermentation was also carried out in stainless steel tanks. The wine matured for 12 months in French oak barrels, 20% of which were new wood and 80% older or previously used wood.
