Heritage
The Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot was released in 1998 as an easy drinking Bordeaux style blend. In keeping with modern trends and embracing the art of living, this wine boasts a contemporary new look and is sealed with a screw cap to eliminate cork taint and capture all the quality straight from the vineyard

Style of Wine
Fruity red blend.
in the vineyard : The winter of 2013 was wet and cold. The cooler conditions extended in to early part of summer, but December was the hottest in 47 years of recorded history in Stellenbosch. The dry conditions of the summer changed on 9 and 10 February when we had a down pour of 44 mm. On Friday 8 March 2013 there were more showers but the conditions dried off rather quickly due to high temperatures and howling south Easter. Our initial fears of some dilution in the late season reds soon disappeared when the reds completed fermentation. The 2013 vintage delivered wines with beautiful dark colours, soft and mature tannins with delicious ripe concentrated fruit flavours.
