Rozier Bay Merlot

Deep purple colour leads into aromas of blueberry and cigar box. On the palate the wine has a silky texture and forward berry fruit, flowing into a lingering velvety finish.

Perfect with slow roasted lamb, or lightly char-grilled steak. It would also be delicious with charcuterie or accompanying a fine cheese board.

in the vineyard : Essentially viewed as a blending variety Merlot only makes up approximately 6% of all plantings in South Africa. However its potential is now becoming more widely recognised and those who make straight quality Merlot do so with style.

about the harvest: The potential for Merlot in the Cape is very exciting. It makes for a ‘plummy, lush’ style if the grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness. This parcel from a single Robertson vineyard perfectly encapsulates that style.
