Merlot
Protected Geographical Origin-Peloponnese.
North Corinthia region, in Peloponnese, is characterized by relatively intense weather conditions with cold winters, snowfalls and much humidity. During the summer the weather is cool and this leads to the absence of insects from vineries and their resistance to the diseases. Moreover, the snow and the rain provide the crops with sufficient water supplies.
The soil type is rocky and clay as well as particularly rich in lime. It is also known as lime rich clay soil. These soils retain humidity in a way that remain cool and help to the growth of vineries.
Merlot is produced under the most modern technology of red wines production and the temperature within the stainless tanks does not exceed the 20o C during the process of fermentation.
Merlot is a special type of wine very well-made, with intense aromas of red fruit and spices and a deep red colour. It is a round wine in taste but rich in smooth tannins, leaving a soft long lasting taste of chocolate in mouth.
