Tasting Note

Vibrant red berry with refined cut grass, violets and subtly spiced nose. The palate is medium bodied with lovely fine, dry tannins and a refreshing, long finish.

Product Notes

De Trafford Merlot is a bold, full-bodied red wine from the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. With its deep ruby color and aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and spice, this wine is a truly decadent indulgence. The palate is rich and complex, with notes of black cherry, plum, and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm but well integrated, creating a smooth and velvety texture that lingers on the finish. This Merlot is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, adding extra depth and complexity to the wine. It pairs perfectly with rich dishes like grilled steak, lamb, or game meats, making it the perfect addition to any special occasion.
