{"product_id":"morgenhof-merlot-cabernet-franc-750ml","title":"Morgenhof Merlot Cabernet Franc 750ml","description":"The grapes were received during the early morning hours. Crushing and de-stemming commenced and the mash was pumped to fermentation tanks. We did 3 days of cold maceration. Yeast was then added so that fermentation could start. Fermentation temperature was held between 18-30°C. Aerated pump-overs were performed 4 times per day with moving the volume of the tank once with every pump-over. MACERATION lasted15-25 days. A Bucher Pneumatic press was used and the first press-wine went with the free-run and the next press-wine was kept aside and treated separately. Malo-lactic fermentation were done in stainless steel tanks. 18 Months oak contact in French oak barrels, 20% new oak.\nA rich dark ruby coloured wine invites you to a nose full of black cherries, mulberries and mixed spice. These enticing flavours follow through onto a supple palate with dark chocolate flavours with a smooth lingering finish.","brand":"Liquor.co.za","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46079064375330,"sku":"001000432126","price":144.99,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/9198\/2882\/files\/PR28183BI2870_001000432126_MORGENHOF_MERLOT_1x750ML_SZ5.webp?v=1791368854","url":"https:\/\/liquor.co.za\/products\/morgenhof-merlot-cabernet-franc-750ml","provider":"Liquor.co.za","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
