Wines
Merlot
Bastiàn Merlot is an elegant dry red wine, ruby red in color. The aroma combines red plum, dark cherry, freshly ground pepper and licorice. The wine is soft and medium-bodied. The medium-lasting fruit flavor is achieved with scents of plum, blueberry, cherry, and sweet spices. Due to the lower level of fine sweet tannins, it is easy to drink.

Vinification
The harvest took place at the end of September, first the fresh parts of the grapes were picked, and ten days later the dried parts. Fermentation was carried out in stainless steel at a temperature of 26-28°C, with a daily immersion of grape pomace for 12 days. After the end of the fermentation process, the different vinifications were combined with the continuation of malolactic fermentation and maturation, partly in stainless steel and partly in large oak barrels of 500 liters.
