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.
Tasting Notes
Named after the migration of whales which occurs every year. These majestic creatures travel thousands of kilometers between the food rich waters of the Antartic to the warmer waters of South Africa and beyod. 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.
