Castellum Dracula Merlot

ORIGIN: The wine is prepared entirely from grapes of Merlot variety coming from the vineyards located in Mehedinti region - Romania, the seventh largest country producer of grapes in the world. VINEYARD: Due to their position in the most southern part of the country and thanks to the influence of the Mediterranean climate and proximity of the Danube, the vines covering the Mehedinti hills have always produced the highest quality wines, which have been extremely well appreciated. Climatic data show that this is a place where an important number of temperature degrees and a lot of sunny hours are to be found, thus providing good conditions for ripening and synthesis in the berries of certain compounds with a great oenological value, among which the most important are the saccharides and the anthocyanins. In this area the sun always shines upon the entire vineyard, actually beaming upon it and the soil is the so-called "red clay" - most adequate for producing high quality wines. WINE MAKING PROCESS: Manual harvesting in plastic crates, de-stemming and crushing, the must is pumped into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks where it is seeded with yeasts to complete the alcoholic fermentation, followed by the racking of the wine and the completion of the malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, where it is refined by a maturing period of about 6-9 months. TASTING: Intense ruby red, with purple hues. Aromas like ripe forest fruit, prunes, caramel, hints of fine spices. Dry, full-bodied, strong and balanced, with round tannins and an intense finish. It is recommended to accompany red meats, small or feathered game, traditional Romanian red meat-based dishes
