This grape variety emphasizes structure over intense fruit aromas, resulting in a fruity taste and a refreshing finish.

Its cultivation area of 266,440 hectares secures it the second place after Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is known for its versatility and ability to thrive in various climates, contributing to its widespread popularity. Its softer character, combined with rich fruit aromas and gentle tannins, has made Merlot a favorite that is grown in many renowned wine regions around the globe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMERLOT FROM SOUTH AFRICA - A HIGHLIGHT IN EVERY BOTTLE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 10px;\"\u003eSouth African Merlot wines often present a dry style, with the grape variety frequently aging in pure wooden barrels.

The aromas range from ripe fruit to spicy notes and a subtle hint of Chocolate. Through careful 16-month aging in small French oak barrels, delicate wood notes emerge, perfectly harmonizing with the fresh fruit acidity and ripe berry fruit. The finish of this wine is remarkably long-lasting, making it a special delight.
