Palate: On the palate, Anura Merlot is smooth and velvety, featuring flavors of cherry, blackberry, and a touch of spice. The wine has well-integrated oak influences, adding complexity without overpowering the fruit. It finishes with soft tannins and a lingering aftertaste.

Winemaking Process

The grapes undergo a meticulous process starting with destemming, followed by cold maceration for 48 hours to enhance flavor extraction.

Fermentation occurs in open-top stainless steel tanks, where regular pump-overs and manual punch-downs are performed to maximize flavor extraction.

After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for approximately 16 months, utilizing a mix of new and used barrels to impart subtle oak complexity.
