Merlot

Hand selected bunches underwent individual berry selection to ensure only the best fruit was fermented. 100% of the fruit was fermented as berries in stainless steel tank. All fermentation was spontaneous (wild) with no commercial yeast added. 27 days post fermentation maceration. Matured for 22 months in 70% new French oak barrels. Limited production. A classic merlot which will continue to develop for the next 7-10 years.

Best end rack of new season lamb, baby new potatoes, fresh garden peas and a touch of mint. Alternatively, an aged Comté with freshly baked sour dough bread.
