Trilogija Winery, the house of top quality wines, presented us with a new label: Pečat Merlot Cuvée, 2019.
According to Wikipedia, Cuvee (French pronunciation: [kyve] [kive]) is a French term for wine derived from tank, meaning a barrel or tank. Winemakers use the term cuvée with several different meanings.
The Seal of the Merlot Cuvée winery Trilogy is a blend of three different Seals:
- Seal, vintage 2017, Barrique, Grand Reserve (with the addition of 10% Cabernet Franc) – 15%
- Seal, vintage 2018, from inox, (with the addition of 3% Cabernet Franc) – 36%
- Seal, vintage 2019, from inox, (with the addition of 10% Cabernet Franc) – 49%
The owner of the Trilogija winery, Dragan Mijailović, listed the main characteristics of the Pečat Merlot Cuvée label, 2019:
"Although this is a blend of several different Seals and vintages, it still has an intense dark burgundy-purple color with an excellent balance of acids and alcohol and a full body. The aroma is unexpectedly fruity, on first contact red berries stand out, and in the long finish there are chocolate, prune jam, coffee and, at the end; vanilla. Barrique is discreet but persistent - not burdensome. Instead of a conclusion: this Seal of Merlot Cuvée proved that the wine is "alive" and that it changes, both over time and when mixed with other wines-vintages, and that it always surprises us with the end result."

Briefly about Trilogija winery
The town of Banja, where the winery is located, is in the heart of Šumadija, between Arandjelovac and Topola. Trilogija Winery is a "boutique" winery, and the position of the vineyard is on a plateau where the winds constantly blow, and the sun shines from sunrise to sunset. The view of Oplenac, Rudnik, Venčac and Bukulja makes a stay at the winery unforgettable. The owner of the winery, Dragan Mijailović, planted Merlot and Cabernet Franc, because he followed the expert findings of the laboratory at the Faculty of Agriculture in Zemun, which established that the composition of the soil is ideal for growing the Merlot variety. "The production capacity is designed to be up to 10.000 liters of wine per season, because quality (not quantity) and the satisfaction of our consumers are important to us," Dragan Mijailović told us.
