In a land where this varietal often plays second or third fiddle, this pure Merlot was made in an intense, deep and yet spontaneous style. Ripe, juicy Merlot flavors firmly but ripely connected in a web of subtle tannins. Eager yet restrained. Proof that good Merlot has a home in the Cape

“Dark, ripe and modern in style, with lots of toast and dark chocolate over plum and cassis fruit. Thick but polished, with cocoa and coffee notes lingering on the finish.”
