Vinification: The first step in creating our cru merlot is meticulously selecting the best merlot grapes from our vineyards. After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and soft-crushed before undergoing maceration for roughly 15 days. During this two-week period of skin contact, the wine undergoes fermentation.
Following fermentation, the red wine is then transferred into new French oak barrique, where it ages and matures for 24 months.

Description: Our best Merlot grapes produce an incredibly intense reddish purple hue. A rich and complex bouquet submerges the drinker with notes of cherry, cocoa and leather. The long and soothing finish completes the wine’s well-founded structure.

Temperature & recommandation: This brassy Merlot is an excellent accompaniment for roasted meats and strong cheeses. Ros di Rol should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C/60-64°F in longstemmed glasses for bold red wines that will allow the complex aromas to emerge.
