Merlot Nature 2006

Currently, it is not on sale. A new vintage is being prepared.

Variety: 100% Merlot Vinification:

Late harvest at the beginning of October, manual harvesting of grapes, a short period between vines and fermentation (maximum 2 hours). Primary fermentation began with naturally occurring yeasts. Macerated 3 months, long after fermentation was complete and the grape skins had settled. The mash is pressed around the New Year. No sulfur dioxide or other preservatives are added before bottling. The wine is naturally stable and ready for a long lifespan. No filtration.

Maturation: 36 months of maturation in used barrique barrels until bottling Wine region: Slovenian Istria Location: Truške Alcohol value: 15,5% vol. Sugar level: dry Harvest: hand harvested Contents: 0.75 l Packaging: 6 × 0.75 l Serving temperature: 18 °C

The wine is medium intense copper-red. On the nose, the wine is extremely rich and complex because it exhibits more than 30 months of maturation in oak wooden barrels. We notice aromas of ripe and overripe berries, ripe plum jam, and aromas of vanilla, wood, chocolate, and cocoa. The wine shows a venerable age. 

We recommend it with dishes with red meat, dishes with truffles, aged sheep cheese. It is a great combination with some red meat dishes with demi-glace sauce.
