Lyngrove Collection Merlot 2017

Bright plum red in colour. Classic style of Merlot with loads of soft red berry fruits on the nose and palate, with a smooth velvety tannin structure. Very accessible wine with fresh acidity and lingering spices on the finish.

Best at 15° - 18° C. Very enjoyable with wood fired pizza smothered in tomato, basil and goats cheese.

in the vineyard : The 5ha vines were planted in the year 2000 with 2.5m row spacing. Soils consist of weathered granite on a clay base. The vines are drip-irrigated to ensure optimal ripening and trained on a 5-wire Perold trellis system. Vines benefit by having the cool breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean (False Bay) during the ripening season.
