Merlot

This French variety that has a half-brother, Cabernet Sauvignon (their common father is Cabernet Franc), is one of the most important global red varieties that we often find growing with Cabernet, and thereby, in the winery product offers. Due to its early ripening and a pretty mild tannin, it is also suitable for the northern areas of Croatia. This Merlot by Iuris is proof of that. The wine is mid-bodied with pronounced fruitiness, primarily plum jam sweetness. Polished tannins are the result of a yearlong aging in 500 and 1200 l barrels made of English oak with additional 12 months of bottle aging.

Technological data: complete defoliation of the grapevine, late vintage, traditional vinification in stainless steel tanks for a period of 19 days, aging in barrels made of French, Slavonian and American oak for a minimum period of 12 months, bottle aging for a period of 4 months.

0,75 l 12,5% 2019.
