2006 Reserve Merlot (750ml) (Hunt Club) -- Wolffer Estate Vineyard Shopping Cart
$20.00
-- New Release !
Region
Long Island, New York. Produced and bottled in Sagaponack, New York. Under Winemaker/Technical Director Roman Roth's meticulous care, Wölffer Estate Vineyard encompasses 55 acres and practices sustainable agriculture. Similar in many respects to conditions in Bordeaux, the local Bridgehampton loam soil, combined with the breeze from the Atlantic, only 2.6 miles away, provides the perfect conditions to achieve the ripeness and acidity necessary for producing Wölffer's signature style: European elegance combined with the typicity of their Long Island terroir.
Grapes
100% Merlot
Style/Taste
Dark red in color. The aroma is filled with violets, thyme, prunes, ripe cranberries, vanilla, toasted nuts and fine cedar. The mouth-feel is medium-bodied, exhibiting great balance between the fruit and the layers of tannins with a wonderful integration of oak. The finish is long and classic, with minerality and fine acidity, making this the perfect food partner.
- Roman Roth, Winemaker/Technical Director
Technical Data
After a very good growing season the grapes were carefully hand harvested on October 27th, 2006, followed by further selection on our sorting table. The grapes came from 2 different blocks. The grapes were destemmed and fermentation was done in stainless steel. The fermentation went up to 88F and the cap management was done via pump over, 3 times daily. The total maceration went on for 24 days and we gently transferred and pressed the grapes separating the press fraction. Following an 8-day of settling the lees, the wine was moved into 25% new and 75% older barrique barrels. Malolactic Fermentation finished 100% and the wine was carefully racked a total of 4 times during the maturation time, which lasted for 12 months in barriques and 6.5 month in Tanks. The wine was bottled unfiltered and unfined on June 19th, 2008. 1062 cases were produced.
