The Villiera Monro Merlot presents an immensely intense and aromatic bouquet of ripe berry fruit and hints of dark chocolate, fine spices and fragrant vanilla. On the palate, deliciously layered nuances of Black Forest cherry pie ensnare the senses - superbly balanced with a velvety texture, lovely grip, stunning concentration and remarkable length. Highly endowed Merlot pleasure!

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were hand-picked at optimum ripeness and, on arrival at the winery, sorted with great care and selected berry by berry for further production. 70% of the berries were crushed, while the remaining 30% went into fermentation as whole berries. During the fermentation process in stainless steel tanks, the mash was regularly pumped over and the marc cap was regularly submerged. Once alcoholic fermentation was complete, it went into the press followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak. The wine matured for 18 months in French barrique (65% new wood) and was then bottled.
