All grapes are handpicked during the early morning hours, then crushed, destemmed and directly transferred to a stainless-steel fermenter, taking extra care to remove all the green stems, in order to reduce the green flavour as far as possible. Fermentation takes place in closed – top stainless-steel fermenters. Extraction is obtained by regular pump overs. After fermentation is completed, the wine is left on the skins for another seven days and then pressed to Neutral oak French barrels. Malolactic bacteria are inoculated, and malolactic fermentation is completed in the barrel. The wine is then racked from the lees and given a low dose of sulphur. The wine spends a total of 10 months in the barrel before it is blended and bottled.

Merlot 2023
R180.00
Deep ruby red colour. Aromas of ripe red berries and blackcurrant, with subtle spice and hints of cloves. Juicy and fruit-driven, with soft, well-integrated tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. Pairs well with Italian dishes, grilled chicken and charcuterie and lightly spiced meats.
