Kaapzicht Merlot 2017

A deep core of black fruit, grilled herbs and liquorice combines with savoury elements of tar, soy, new leather, and black olives. Some dusty, sweet Eucalypt notes are drowned out by the wine’s sheer concentration. Pronounced, fine, dry tannins justify aerating the wine, and further bottle ageing of 3-8 years. A serious, full-bodied expression of cultivar.

Enjoy the rich ripe fruits immediately or cellar for 2 – 4 years to allow more development and integration.

Delicious served with Osso Bucco or other rich Italian dishes.

Vines planted in Estcourt type, weathered topsoil on a layer of granite, above a crumbly clay sub-soil.
Yield: of 7 –8 ton per HA
