This is a classically styled predominantly Merlot blend. It has a nose of rasberries, blackcurrants, white chocolate and white pepper. The undertones of fresh mint and fynbos follow through onto the palate. The ripe red berried fruit flavours are supported by hints of mint and chocolate. Supple tannins ensure a full and lengthy finish.
