  • 06 Merlot

    Racked, degassed, filtered and bottled....

    S.G. 0.990
    PH 3.1 (eek!)
    TA 7g/l



    tastes very very fruity, smooth tannins, acid slightly high, this is contributing to the fruitiness I think.

    Will see how it settles over the next 12 months

        I would prefer the PH to be more like 3.4 to 3.6
        the PH is low because the acid is high, (poorly executed acid additions pre-ferment) but it does mean its very fruity and will make a fantastic blending wine

        so a higher PH would be indicitave of a better acid level.

        cheers

                        Racked and bottled the 60/40 blend of Cabernet and Merlot from 2006, and took some to the function the Ponte Massive were attending last night, and if I say so myself....its a good wine
