This is a supple, elegant and very appealing South African MERLOT with the tannins well-integrated, but prominent enough to need a year or two longer to show off the ripe, fleshy black-cherry, chocolate and oak shadings to their best advantage.

Healthy, full-ripe grapes harvested and fermented dry on the skins. After malolactic fermentation matured on French oak.

Serve with a wide range of dishes including grilled meat, venison and hearty pasta dishes.
