Porcupine Ridge Merlot (South Africa)

Winemakers comments: as in previous vintages a combination of three vineyard sights in malmesbury wellington and here at boekenhoutskloof. Regular pump over/punch downs ensure great extraction and resultant richness and weight. Eight months of french oak maturation followed by an egg white fining prior to sterile bottling. Tasting notes: red berries on the nose with delicate ripe plum flavours on the palate. With the subtle use of oak this wine has an appealing balance between fruit and wood. – boekenhoutskloof
