CLOS DE GAT 'HAREL' MERLOT
Description Traditional, the grapes are handpicked after rigorous sorting and crushing they are transferred to open fermentation tanks. After ageing for 14 months in 30% new French oak barrels and racked every 4-6 months, the final blend is bottled without filtering.
Fresh garnet red is the colour our Merlot Elena Walch wears. Intensive and clean in the nose, with fruity notes of wild berries, spicy notes and some chocolate. Firm tannins, meaty structure with opulence and elegance fill the palate where the wine convinces with softness and juiciness, with drinking pleasure and a pleasingly stimulating finish.
VINIFICATION: Traditional temperature controlled fermentation for 10 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in French and Slavonian oak barrels of 80hl. Maturation in large oak barrels.
