Description

Region

The Western Cape is roughly the size of Greece and is the fourth largest province in South Africa. A temperate southern coastline is fringed by mountains whilst the north meets up with the Karoo plateau. The west coast of the province is extremely dry and windy. Two oceans meet on its coast; the cool Atlantic on the west and the warm Indian Ocean on the south coast. The weather is perfect for growing grapes – rainfall measures up to 40 inches a year, the mild Mediterranean weather provides the perfect climate and the ground is mainly sandy and rough.

Hailing from the Western Cape, this Merlot is round and supple, full of juicy plums, cherries and blackberries. Complemented by a fresh acidity and soft tannins.
Food
Delicious with tomato based pasta dishes, pizza and bbq food.
