Merlot 99%
Grapes were grown in 2 vineyard blocks on our farm situated next to each other. Medium potential Klapmuts soil, planted narrow at 1,8m x 1.0m and with Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis systems. Clones MO182 and MO343 were used and both blocks are under drip irrigation. Annual yield is between 7 and 10 tons/ha.
Handpicked grapes were transported to the cellar for processing. Grapes fermented in stainless-steel tanks and twice daily pump-overs ensured the delicate extraction of tannins. The total time on the skins were 14 days before pressing. Malo-lactic fermentation and maturation followed in 300L French oak barrels (only 3rd fill and older) for 18months.
Serve slightly chilled (18°C) it is great summer red wine. Pair with charcuterie platters and gourmet flatbreads with pullet pork or steak strips.
