01: Wine characteristics and description
Merlot can really suit the Alpine-meets-Mediterranean climate of the Brda/Collio hills. Here it shows good depth of ruby colour with pink-purple highlights. There are bramble and red plum aromas with hints of fine vanilla and sandalwood on the nose. To taste, it’s youthful and lively with fresh, juicy, berry fruit and a touch of cedar in a linear, fresh, understated style. Enjoyable for its fruitiness now but there’s enough structure to age too.
