Serengeti Merlot 2021

Rich, ruby red colour with ripe plum, boisterous black cherry flavours and subtle undertones of vanilla boasts a lingering finish. Enjoy with a variety of meats such as veal, meat loaf, Italian-style sausages, roast lamb or beef stews, baked/grilled chicken and pasta with a basil pesto based sauce. This wine is perfect to enjoy now and can mature up to 3 years

The grapes are hand-picked in the early hours of the morning, destalked and crushed. The juice and grapes are cooled and pumped into stainless steel tanks, inoculated with yeast and fermented at 24 - 26°C. Finally the grapes are pressed, the juice transferred back to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation that took place over 14 days. This wine is then further matured in tank for up to 12 months to soften and integrate the tannins before bottling.
