The Eagles' Nest Merlot presents itself in the glass in a dazzling shade of dark plums and exudes aromas of red currants and black cherries, which unfold fully in a hint of fine spices and fragrant vanilla. On the palate, this elegant Merlot pampers with delicious nuances of black and red berry fruit, enveloped by smooth, soft tannins. Fine hints of rosemary and olive tapenade give the wine a pleasant herbal freshness. A subtle peppery note perfectly rounds off this first-class pleasure experience and ends in a long and lingering finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this Merlot were picked by hand, destemmed and crushed in open fermentation tanks of medium size. The fermentation process lasted 9 days at a controlled temperature of 24-30 C. The wine matured in new oak barrels and in second and third barrels, where the malolactic fermentation was completed. After 18 months the wine was transferred to steel tanks and blended. Before bottling, the wine was lightly filtered.
