The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying sizes and styles where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures which allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks and the remaining is transferred onto French and American oak. The Tempus Two Varietal series Merlot is an soft and vibrant wine with generous length and a persistent, smooth finish.
