Merlot

Pungent aromas of raspberry and red plums are tempered by the deft use of French oak. The palate is redolent with succulent, sweet fruit aromas and finely coated in ripe mouth filling tannins. Smokey and savoury oak characters provide a subtle background to this complex and well balanced wine.

Bordeaux Superieur - A superb property located on the edge of the famous Margaux appellation planted with 65% Merlot 15% Cabernet Sauvignon 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. Aged in oak and carefully blended, this delicious claret is consistently good, with ripe supple fruit and soft tannins.

Laibach were the first certified organic block in Stellenbosch and this wine has become a benchmark for organic wine production in South Africa. Named in tribute to the 3,000 Ladybirds that are released each January to combat the presence of the mealybug and protect the vines.

This is a classic style, restrained elegance with a mouthfilling fruit core, and pronounced aromatics of fresh black plums, mulberries, violets and pencil shaving minerality. Tannins are supple and well structured with fresh acidity to support an opulent mid palate for texture and balance. A fantastic wine! 

A very decent St Emilion Grand Cru that exhibits ripe fruit, intense aromas of redcurrant, blackberry and spicy notes. With silky tannins that combine with a lingering black cherry and coffee finish. It is full bodied and supple on the palate with a gentle touch of oak giving depth and structure.

‘Seggio’ is the name of the creek that runs through Bolgheri - its course from above is represented on the label. This wine is produced from different plots of vineyards in the Poggio al Tesoro estate. The Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in the Via Bolgherese vineyards, at 56 metres above sea level.

"Made in comparatively large quantities, this is a very affordable and approachable red from
Hubert de Boüard and his team. Elegant, balanced and deftly oaked with fine tannins and
some grassy, graphite-like notes. Drink: 2020-26" -Tim Atkin, TimAtkin.com,  2016.
