Description

Gala Bergrus Pinot Noir Merlot 2021

Bergrus is the designation for the highest range of red wines from the winery.

Grape Varietals & Region: Pinot Noir & Merlot from Bergrus, in Moravia, Czechia

Taste Profile: Merlot forms the main body and structure, while pinot noir adds lushness to the final blend and brings up a bit of earthiness into the mix. Ruby in color, it is rich & earthy on the notes with red fruits of cranberry & red plums. Vegetal tomato leaf & thyme, as well as cherry wood & clay notes balance the fruit notes. On the palate, bone dry with high acid & tannin structures

Winemaking Process: Best selections. The wines are aged for 12 months in new or older oak barrels. After bottling, they let the wine age for several months in bottles.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
