Vinification of the Merlot from De Grendel

The grapes for the Merlot - De Grendel grow in an ideal climate characterized by warm days and cool nights. These conditions promote aroma development and the optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest is mostly done by hand to select only the best grapes. After the harvest, these are gently processed to preserve the freshness and fruit.

Modern techniques are employed in the vinification process. The grapes are destemmed and lightly pressed before they are placed in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Here, fermentation begins, where the natural yeasts convert the sugars into alcohol. Maceration takes place over several days to extract the full aromas from the skins.

After fermentation, the wine matures in high-quality oak barrels. This aging of about 12 months adds additional complexity and depth to the Merlot - De Grendel. The fine wood notes splendidly harmonize with the already present fruity aromas, imparting the wine with its characteristic, elegant style.
