Wölffer Estate's The Grapes of Roth Merlot is made from grapes grown on the estate's sustainably farmed vineyards. The grapes were de-stemmed and sorted before being fermented with regular punch-downs and pump-overs, as well as an extended maceration, to increase the extraction of tannins and flavor. The wine was then pressed off and transferred to French oak barrels where it was matured for just under two years, acquiring notes of vanilla and sweet spice.
