Information about "Vondeling Petit Rouge Merlot 2022"
Radiating a brilliant ruby hue, the Vondeling Petit Rouge Merlot 2022 unveils vibrant aromas of lush cherries and subtle raspberries, complemented by hints of soft black pepper. On the palate, these engaging flavors coalesce with refined tannins, creating a seamless and velvety finish. This beautifully dynamic wine captivates with each sip, making it an exquisite companion for various culinary delights.
The grapes were destemmed but not crushed, fermenting at cool temperatures to retain a broad spectrum of lively fruit and spice without heavy tannins. Post-fermentation, the wine was transferred to 300-liter French oak barrels, with malolactic fermentation occurring in barrel. It spent a total of 13 months in French oak before blending and bottling for optimal enjoyment.
