Die eerste \u201cHello Merlot\u201d het op 31 Mei en 1 Junie plaasgevind, waar die tien beste merlot-wynmakers in die land op die Vondeling-wynlandgoed aangewys is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie gesoute wynmakers is gekies deur die beoordelaars Cathy van Zyl, Malu Lambert, Spencer Fondaumiere, Tarryn Vincent, en Matthew Copeland, wat 71 inskrywings vir Suid-Afrika se beste merlot moes fynkam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die jonger wyne van 2018 se oesjaar tot nou het die vyf beoordelaars met hul gehalte be\u00efndruk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCopeland, die wynmaker by Vondeling, het ges\u00ea die jong merlot-versnitte het varsheid en beheerde houtveroudering, wat tot \u2019n uitstekende uitdrukking van kultivar-karakter gelei het, gewys,\u201d lui die persverklaring van \u201cHello Merlot\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copeland het bygevoeg die wynmakers het \u2019n behoorlike begrip van die druifsoort asook die wingerdperseel gehad, en aangedui die palet was nie te swaar nie, maar het geure van rooi vrugte en speserye terselfdertyd gedra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tarryn Vincent, van die Reciprocal Wine Company, het Copeland se siening herhaal deur te s\u00ea die ouer wyne het moeiliker gedrink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie meer volwasse inskrywings was telkens swaar op ekstraksie en die houtbehandeling het die vrug- en kultivar-karakter onderdruk,\u201d het Vincent in die persverklaring verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cathy van Zyl het bygevoeg dat daar baie min \u201cbedompige wyne\u201d of wyne met \u2019n \u201csouterige geur\u201d was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verlaagde tanniene en die tipiese \u201crooibessievrug\u201d was ook prominent in die merlot-wyne, het Malu Lambert ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het goeie merlot gesien, met \u2019n Suid-Afrikaanse kinkel.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suid-Afrika se merlot het \u2019n uitstekende kultivar-uitdrukking danksy die sonnige weer waarvoor die Kaapse Wynland-distrik beroemd is, het sy ook verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spencer Fondaumiere, wat uitgebreide ervaring in die gasvryheidsbedryf het, het ges\u00ea met die beoordeling van die wyne was dit maklik om te sien waarom merlot so gewild in Suid-Afrika is. \u201cDaar is \u2019n sagter en vroulike kant tot die kultivar, wat wyd aanklank vind \u2013 veral by wyndrinkers wat nie van swaar tanniene hou nie,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea. .<\/span> The first Top 10
