Merlot (growing in our area for more than 100 years)A limited production wine harvested from meticulously selected small vineyard lots (3 ha/7.4 ac) on hilltops (190 m/623 ft) that are estate grown and carefully farmed. The grapes are handpicked and sorted at harvest time in order to create unique, artisan-style wines that reflect the craftsmanship involved in hands-on winemaking.
Exceptionally rich and dense dark ruby-red.

In red (grape skins remain in contact with the juice). After destemming the raisins in a soft press, the residue is gently pressed down to the bottom of steel vats, and mixed again, pushing it to the top up to 5 times a day for about 18 days at a controlled temperature of 26°C/78.8°F.

Perfect with all types of red meat and game dishes. Ideal at the end of the meal with hardened, mature cheese. Outstanding on its own as a wonderful “meditation wine”.
