Tomaz Merlot Silente 2019
Bordeaux’s grape varieties have been blown all over the world, and the prince of these vineyards – Merlot found its perfect location under the walls of the town of Velog Jože (John, the Giant). Merlot yields excellent grapes in locations from which obtain high-quality wine. Further on, age it in wooden barrels for 18 months. This is how Tomaz Merlot Silente 2019 is made. It is a tender, soft, and velvety wine with an aroma reminiscent of berry fruits.
Paired amazingly with lighter meat sauces and grilled duck. It is best served at a temperature of 14 – 16 °C.

The tradition of viticulture and winemaking in the Tomaz family, handed down from generation to generation, has existed since 1918. The winery is located at the foot of the ancient town of Motovun, and our 16 ha of vineyards are situated on its slopes. Annual production reaches up to 100 000 bottles, and the predominant varieties are Istrian Malvazia and other autochthonous varieties such as Teran and Muscat. Another important variety produced is Merlot, while rosé and sparkling wine are produced from Teran. The special advantage of Tomaz wines is the microclimatic conditions at the intersection of the Mediterranean and continental climates that lead to significant differences in daytime and nighttime temperatures, which helps grape ripening and enriches the wine with very intense aromas.
