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 is supposed to do

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.

Smooth and flavourful

Incredibly smooth and flavourful, with both dark fruit and red fruit rising to the fore. Blackberries and mulberries are prominent.

Light and refreshing

Smells like it will be opulent and concentrated, but on palate is actually somewhat light and refreshing for S. African merlot
