Graham Beck The Game Reserve Merlot 2011

Fresh cassis, black plums, violets and fruitcake aromas on the nose. Succulent berry fruits and plum pudding nuances supported by spice and cedar wood flavours on the palate. A medium structured wine with elegant ripe tannins on the finish.

Sublime with steak, hearty casseroles, roast chicken or lamb shanks.

The Cape Clawless Otter
The Cape clawless otter (Anonyx capensis) is the larger of the two species found on the African continent. Humans are the most significant threat to this species with degraded river systems and overfishing posing a far greater threat than hunting. Fortunately through the diligent restoration of the Vink River which runs through the Graham Beck Private Nature Reserve we've successfully been able to provide a safe habitat for this remarkable creature, encouraging a healthy re-population and providing regular sightings along the river banks.
about the harvest: Handpicked at optimum ripeness at 25 - 26°B in the last week of February from our Franschhoek vineyards and the second week of March from our Stellenbosch vineyard.
