Place in the Sun Merlot 2010

Colour: Vibrant, lively red
Aroma: Bursting with sun-ripened
Palate: A beautifully soft-textured wine with graceful but intense flavours, it offers a profusion of berries in the mouth. Supple tannins give it excellent structure and the ability to age well.

A excellent match with mushroom-flavoured dishes, it also stands up well to tomato flavoured casseroles, Mediterranean style dishes with aubergines and peppers.

in the vineyard : Trellised vineyards in the Cape's prime growing areas are cooled by False Bay sea breezes during the summer, helping to slow down ripening and concentrate fruit flavours.
about the harvest: Grapes are hand-picked and delivered in lug boxes to the Zonnebloem cellar, where they are handled very gently to preserve inherent fruit flavours.
in the cellar : The juice was given two weeks skin contact to enrich colour and extract flavour. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at a gentle low temperature, the wine was racked for malolactic fermentation. It was gently oaked, matured for 12 months before bottling.
