Tasting note
Lively South African Merlot, packed with cherries and exuding mint and a hint of smoke. Hints of coffee, chocolate and ripe berry fruits supported by smooth, firm tannin for soft early drinking.
Viticulture
Vines are planted on a Duplex soil with some clay - Kroonstad, with a south/south-west aspect . Yields are 8 tons per hectare.
Vinification
Hand harvested in individual parcels and selected for quality to get the ripest possible, balanced Merlot from our very finest soils, influenced by the cool S/E wind during the ripening season. The wine was matured in selected French oak barrels for 12 months and blended with a small fraction of Cabernet Franc for structure and complexity prior to bottling.
Food Match
Serve with meat dishes, grills and roast lamb.
