Deep ruby velvet in colour with an exotic nose combining red plums, blackberries, blueberries, violets, cardamom, and walnuts that follow through onto the palate. Silky tannins combined with a rich purity of fruit and a somewhat savoury finish distinguish this seamless wine as a great ambassador for Merlot from the cool climate of the Elgin region.

| Winery | The Elgin Vintners are a partnership of six dedicated grape growers who, believing in the excellence of the terroir and diversity of their vineyards, have combined their resources to cultivate and produce a range of high-quality wines. They hail from the beautiful Elgin Valley, a high inland plateau surrounded by mountains seventy kilometres along the coast from Cape Town. This cool climate region was long known for its apple orchards. Still, since the turn of the century, conscious winemakers have taken advantage of the temperate conditions afforded by the high altitudes and cooling winds from the Atlantic to grow exemplary Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. |
