In a glass of deep ruby red colour with pink rim, the Vergenoegd Merlot has an inviting scent of red cherries and dark red berry fruit, paired with subtle hints of fine vanilla, white chocolate and a hint of fragrant mint. On the palate, this Merlot is pleasantly soft, but at the same time has a remarkable complexity. Its velvety tannins and the wonderful balance between acidity and fruit end in an elegant finish characterized by fine vanilla and berry tones.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were picked by hand and transported in small baskets to the winery, where they were first completely destemmed and lightly crushed. The fermentation was started in stainless steel tanks with the addition of selected yeast strands. Once the wine was dry, it was transferred to the press, whereupon the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation was completed back in the tank. Only the very best tanks were then placed in 300l oak barrels (French, Hungarian and Slovenian oak) for 12 months for aging, 20% of which were new barrels and the remaining 20% were pre-laid oak. Some wines matured in tanks with the addition of French oak staves.
