(#) Merlot 2025

A juicy Merlot that speaks in hashtags.

A Merlot that trades words on the label for hashtags, leaving room for imagination: #feelingdifferent, #kickasswine, #merlotcanbesurprising... 100% Merlot, Guyot-pruned and cropped at 35 hL/ha, fermented without added sulphur using only indigenous yeasts. Daily pigeage down to density 1020 is followed by pump-overs, then three months' ageing in concrete. Plenty of substance, yet crunchy and fresh, with juicy black fruit and marked minerality. Certified organic.
