The Wine

The Merlot of the Poljsak winery is produced with 100% Merlot grapes selected from the best vineyards of Merlot owned by the winery. We are in Slovenia and, more precisely, in the Vipava Valley. Here, the sunny position of the vineyards and the excellent climate are the optimal conditions for the grapes to ripen.

THE WINEMAKING

After manual harvesting, the selected grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking. The grapes macerate for eight days at a controlled temperature. The wine then ages for about eighteen months in large oak barrels and, after blending and bottling, rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby red. The aroma is fragrant with pleasant fruity scents ranging from plum to small berries, from black cherry to cherry to close with a delicate puff of vanilla. Round and aromatic on the palate, very well balanced with velvety tannins. The finish is long and full-bodied.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect with grilled red meats but also with roasts. Try it with hard cheeses.
