Helderberg Merlot 1999

Deep ruby red colour. Nose reminiscent of mulberries, cassis and plums with underlying nuances of wood, spice and vanillin. Well-balanced, with solid ripe fruit mid-palate and persistent complex finish. A smooth wine to compliment any meat dish and specifically to be enjoyed with a platter of cold meat selection of ham, salami, spiced beef, silverside and pickled vegetables.
