Description
SA climate is generally not conducive to producing great Merlot wine, it is usually too warm, but Rainbows End with its high-lying slopes has lower temperatures on average, correcting the problem. Merlot is planted 550m above sea level on their highest slopes.
This is a fruit driven Merlot with plums and mulberry on the nose, low alcohol levels, smooth and well integrated palate, with none of the greenness that South African Merlots tend to be known for. They go through great lengths to produce a well structured and concentrated Merlot.
Dark deep crimson colour. Aromas of blueberries, ripe plums and a faint spiciness towards the end. Fullvelvety mouth feel with hints of berry compote, mulberries and ripe plums. This is a well structured wine withrounded tannins balancing out opulent fruit and a long lingering finish.
Alc: 14%
Bottle Size: 750ml
