Harvest and Vinification Notes

The Merlot grapes are hand-picked during the first ten days of October. First they are pressed, then they undergo a crushing process for 7 days in order to extract the color, aromas, and noble tannins. Fining takes place partly in steel and partly in oak barrels to give the wine a soft yet elegant hint of vanilla.
