Description
A tiny parcel of Merlot was harvested in 2022 on the Doornbosch farm in Bonnievale. It was a dream of Salome’s to release a single Merlot from the moment she saw the red clay soils on the farm. (perfect for growing Merlot) The block was left to reach perfect maturity which resulted in incredible quality of fruit. Once harvested, the wine was matured in French oak barrels for 12 months. This Merlot is bold and structured with notes of ripe mulberry fruit flavours on the nose. Medium to full-bodied palate with chalky tannins and a vibrant fruit profile. A mineral savoury finish with a youthful aftertaste.
