Product information "Shannon Mount Bullet Merlot 2018"
The Shannon Mount Bullet Merlot pampers with an intense and complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, dark plums and black cherries as well as with fine earthy and mineral notes. Its well-balanced acidity gives this first-class wine a remarkable freshness with a well integrated and seductive tannin structure. Minimal intervention in the natural vinification process and the use of natural spontaneous fermentation produce an excellent wine of stunning silkiness and elegance!

Die Trauben wurden am ganzen Bund auf 3°C runtergekühlt und nach sorgfältiger Auslese komplett entrappt. Die bei Hand sortierten Beeren wurden anschließend einer drei bis sechs Tage langen Kaltquellphase unterzogen, bevor die natürliche Fermentierung einsetzte. Die Gärtemperatur lag zwischen 26 - 30ºC. Nachdem der Wein abgepresst wurde, fand die malolaktische Gärung ihren Abschluss in Eichenbarriques. Abschließend reifte der Wein eine Gesamtzeit von 20 Monaten in französischen Barriques, von denen 25% Neuholz, 50% zweitbefülltes sowie 25% drittbefülltes Holz ausmachten.
