WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Spring Village Merlot 2023 is produced using 100% Merlot grapes. The winemaking process emphasizes preserving the fruit's natural character. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the wine's vibrant aromas and flavors. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an aging period of four to nine months, also in stainless steel. This method of aging in stainless steel tanks helps to retain the primary fruit notes and contributes to a smooth texture. The grapes are harvested in the early morning hours, typically between late September and early October, to ensure optimal freshness and quality. A notable aspect of this wine's production is its packaging in PET bottles, which are selected for their environmental benefits, including being lightweight and recyclable, alongside their practical advantages of durability.
