MORE INFORMATION:
The Merlot grapes were harvested by hand at 22°C - 23°C Balling during March. No skin contact was allowed and only the free-run juice was drained to the settling tank. Over a two-day period, the juice was allowed to settle until clear. After racking, fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks over a three-week period.
