mehrere Informationen

The Kyburg Merlot presents itself in the glass in a deep ruby red and spoils the nose with the scent of dark fruit, red and black berries, cherry as well as nuances of pencil shavings. On the palate, well-balanced and excellently structured, the aromas of cherries and fine berry fruit already sniffed unfold. On the rear palate a good portion of fruit and wood tannin follows with a pleasant and long lasting finish. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for the Kyburg Merlot were harvested by hand with great care and upon arrival in the cellar they underwent a four-day cold soaking phase. After pressing, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged for 12 months in French barriques, 20% of which were new wood and 80% second barrels.
