Product information "Vergelegen Merlot Reserve 2018"
The Vergelegen Merlot Reserve flows into the glass in a wonderful plum shade with a ruby red rim. Its bouquet ranges from dark, ripe cherries and plums to piquant spice notes and a hint of chocolate. Delicate wood notes and fresh fruity acidity are in perfect harmony with the juicy ripe fruit aromas and linger for a long time. An absolute masterpiece of a Merlot!

The grapes were harvested at the optimum time and fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled 25°C with two different yeast cultures (D21 and D254). The wine then matured for 17 months in 225 litre French oak barrels.
