Vinification of the Merlot Goriška Brda by Princic

The balanced Merlot Goriška Brda from Slovenia is a varietal wine, vinified from the Merlot grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Slovenia. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of sandstone. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There, they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
