Petrač “999” – Merlot 2017

petrac 999
- +
$63.99

Petrač Winery was the first in Zagorje to introduce red Bordeaux grape varieties, with which it has had considerable success at international and local competitions. Thanks to Petrač’s vision, today these varieties are recognized and recommended for the whole Zagorje region. All the characteristics that define Zagorje terroir allow Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to retain their vital acids even in late autumn, giving the grapes the opportunity to ripen completely and evenly. These God-given conditions require yield reduction, achieved through green harvest. This kind of selection guarantees quality, making Hršak breg recognized as a premium terroir for Bordeaux varieties in the heart of “white” Zagorje.

Produced from hand-picked grapes of 100% pure Merlot at the moment of full ripeness and the optimal ratio of acidity and sugar, selected from the best parts of the vineyards. After classical maceration (2 weeks) in controlled conditions and after completed malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for two years in 2000L oak barrels. The aromas of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, plums and black figs, as well as the flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, dried fruit and oak, are complemented by a rich tannin structure. Rounded, complex and rich in polysaccharides, Merlot 999 will gain in quality and aromas in the bottle for at least the following 5-7 years.
