This wine is a medium bodied blend that is driven by the noble cultivar Merlot. It has a lovely Ruby red colour and a fresh nose that conjures up cherries, blackberries and strawberries. On the palate the berry theme carries through and the addition of Shiraz adds a note of spicyness. Only 12% of the wine has been wooded so the presence of wood on the palate is almost not detectable and therefore does not overpower the natural flavour nuances of this skilfully designed blend.
The finish is dry and smooth with barely a hint of tannins, which make this wine the ideal partner to an array of dishes from fish to beef. The beauty of the wine is that it can be drunk whenever and wherever in a relaxed atmosphere with friends before dinner/lunch or during dinner/lunch. A flavoursome companion that will not only satisfy the taste buds, but will not break the bank.
