Tasting Note
Bright ruby in colour with a light red rim. The nose offers upfront aromas of raspberry, graphite and fresh plums. The wine presents fleshy plums and currants on the palate, underpinned by earthy flavours such as tobacco and liquorice.
Food Complements
Due to its position in the middle of the red wine spectrum, Merlot matches with a wide variety of foods. In general Merlot pairs well with chicken and other light meats. Enjoy the De Grendel Merlot with roast chicken, a simple shepherds pie, or calfs liver and onions with mashed potatoes and gravy.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy the Merlot now or allow it to mature for a further 3 - 5 years.

Does exactly what it supposed to do with a ribeye. Beautiful legs, pretty high on alcohol. oak and red fruit at room temperature. Wine was a tiny bit warm but still incredible, so no gripes here. Very impressed with this.
Incredibly smooth and flavourful, with both dark fruit and red fruit rising to the fore. Blackberries and mulberries are prominent.
Smells like it will be opulent and concentrated, but on palate is actually somewhat light and refreshing for S. African merlot
"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "
