Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon – IGP Gard
Our red wine IGP Gard : Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon
Blend
This red wine is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon.
Terroir
Plots rigorously selected from the “Vin de Pays production area”now called I.G.P. The vines grow on clay and limestone soils.
Winemaking
The two grapes varieties are harvested separately since their maturation does not take place at the same time. The grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and fermented with regular pump overs (two daily over peak fermentation) to extract colour, flavour and tannins. After 3 weeks ‘on skins’ the fermenters are drained off and the skins pressed. The blend is made before malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 8 months in a concrete tank.
