Wine Details
Price:
$9.99 per bottle
Description:
This wine is young and fruity, with incredible flavors of cherry, peach, papaya, lemon zest, vanilla, and walnuts. We picked Merlot on August 12th, and put the entire grape clusters in a tank, then filled the tank with carbon dioxide. Under these conditions, an enzyme is activated inside of the grape and it ferments itself, bleaching out the color from the skins and creating fantastic fruit flavors inside the berry. The technical name for this process is carbonic maceration, and originated in the Beaujolais region of France. After 8 days, we pressed the wine and fermented it to dryness in stainless steel. Then we aged the Merlot Nouveau in a stainless steel tank for 2 months until bottling it on October 18.
