Red Wine - Merlot Barrique

Merlot Barrique – the power of Promina in a barrique barrel

Our Merlot Barrique from the Promina vineyards is the result of careful grape selection and aging in medium-toasted oak barrels until the moment we are satisfied with the obtained barrique aromas, giving it additional depth and complexity. Dark ruby in color, with rich aromas of ripe red and black berries, spices, and distinctive notes of vanilla and smoked wood. On the palate, it is full, powerful, with pronounced tannins and a long-lasting, harmonious finish.

The Merlot aging process lasts a minimum of 30 months, achieving a gentle integration of tannins into the wine, adding structure, complexity, and longevity. Through this process, the Merlot wine retains its characteristics, enriched with barrique taste and scent.
Our red wines are not filtered; through this process, particles in the wine settle to the bottom of the barrel with the help of gravity, and after a certain time, the wine is racked into another barrel. After several such rackings, the wine has almost the same clarity as wine that goes through a filtration process.
Unfiltered wines are more “natural” and “organic”… an authentic version of wine that returns to its roots.
It also helps the wine age longer and gives it greater depth than when the wine is filtered.
Due to minimal intervention in production, a small amount of fine particles can sometimes be found at the bottom of the bottle. Particles in our wine are not dangerous, do not worry! It is completely natural… In fact, this is what is considered normal for unfiltered wine.
If you leave the bottle upright for about an hour, you will avoid any remaining fine sediment particles in the glass.
