Tasting Notes
Appearance:
This Merlot pours a vibrant, clear ruby red, inviting and lively in the glass-a testament to Swartland's sun-drenched slopes and cool Atlantic breezes.
Nose:
The bouquet opens with an abundance of fresh red berries-think juicy cherries and ripe raspberries-layered with a subtle hint of wild herbs. Underneath, delicate notes of gentle oak and the faintest whisper of spice add fragrance and intrigue.
Palate:
Lush and silky, the palate is dominated by vibrant red berry fruit, echoing the nose with berry brightness and layered nuance. Supple, soft tannins wrap around notes of wild herbs and subtle savoury undertones, while measured oak influence brings complexity and finesse to the flavour profile.
Finish:
The finish is refined and silky, marked by a gentle freshness and elegant length. A suggestion of herbs lingers, harmonising beautifully with the juicy berry fruit, making this Merlot both moreish and memorable.
Ideal for those seeking a South African red with authentic structure, expressive fruit and effortless drinkability.
