Table Mountain Western Cape Merlot 2020 (South Africa)

Table Mountain Western Cape Merlot 2020 (South Africa)

  • American oak
  • Plum & red berry
  • Vanillin
  • Soft tannins

Bright ruby red colour in the glass. An abundance of lively, succulent plum and red berry notes and attractive vanillin. A medium-bodied wine with ripe black and red fruit flavours, rounded off by soft tannins and gentle oak flavours, ideal for drinking now.

The grapes were sourced from a selection of the Cape’s premier vineyards in the Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington and Robertson areas. The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness to achieve the fruit-driven character of the wine.

The grapes were harvested by hand at 22° - 24° Balling in February and March. Each vineyard block was individually vinified. The juice was fermented at 24° - 26°C to retain fruit flavours. Fermentation was completed on the skins to ensure extraction of sufficient fruit, colour and structure, but not excessive, harsh tannins. Maturation took place on American oak after malolactic fermentation was completed.

Food Pairing: Excellent with oxtail, casseroles, red meat, game, pizza and pasta dishes.
