Asara – Vineyard Collection Merlot

Harvested early in the morning into small lugs, the grapes are cooled overnight to preserve their freshness. Fermentation takes place at 25 °C, maintaining the wine’s elegance and vibrant fruit character. The wine is matured in medium-toast French oak, with 10% in new 300lt barrels and the remainder in 2nd and 3rd fill barrels, allowing for subtle oak influence while preserving fruit purity. After 12 months of careful maturation, the wine is bottled, capturing its refined structure and balanced character.

A complex wine with fresh red berries and plums on the nose. Raspberries, sweet cherries and subtle hints of mint and vanilla unfold throughout the layers. This juicy palate evolves into concentrated sweet fruit richness and a silky, balanced tannin structure.

The French oak is well integrated giving this wine a delicate, yet complex expression.
