WINE GROWING AREA
The grapes used to make this Merlot grow in Coste and in Termeno at an altitude of 450 – 500 metres. The vines are grown with the guyot system and thrive on heat-retaining, sandy porphyry soils.
HARVEST AND YIELD
Due to the different varietals and vineyards, the grapes are handpicked as they reach full ripeness during October. The yield is 70 hectolitres of wine per hectare.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are lightly crushed, destemmed and fermented at a temperature of 28°C. By gently pounding the skins down and carefully pumping the must around, contact with the skins is maintained for as long as possible to achieve good colour and flavour extraction. The wine is aged in small French oak barrels.
RECCOMENDATION
This Merlot MOLLIS is a beautiful accompaniment to red mead, grilled dishes and mature cheeses.
