Product recommendation

Meerlust Merlot

The Meerlust Merlot comes from the traditional Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch - a wine estate that has been synonymous with top South African wines for centuries. This single-varietal Merlot cuvée impressively demonstrates how complex and long-lasting the grape variety can be vinified in the cooler locations of the Cape Winelands.The wine shines a deep ruby red in the glass. Intense aromas of black plums, dark cherries and fine herbs unfold on the nose, accompanied by hints of mocha, tobacco and subtle spice. On the palate, the Merlot is powerful and juicy with ripe, dark fruit flavors and a present but elegant acidity. Notes of cherry tobacco, black pepper and delicate wood provide multi-layered depth. The finish is long, structured and supported by fine-grained tannins - a wine with excellent ageing potential.The wine is aged for a total of 18 months: first, the individual vineyards are vinified separately and matured in small French barriques. After blending, the wine is matured further in oak, with around 40% new wood being used. The wine is then further refined in the bottle before being sold.Meerlust Merlot is an excellent accompaniment to braised lamb, fillet of beef with mushroom jus, mature hard cheese or pasta with dark sauces. Enjoy it at a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C.The Meerlust Merlot has an intense, dark color in the glass. The bouquet combines notes of brambly fruit, mulberry, licorice and damson plum, with a hint of dark chocolate and spices. On the palate, this red wine offers generous Merlot fruit, with structured acidity and yet soft tannins, as well as a pronounced length and minerality.The Merlot from the Meerlust winery is an excellent accompaniment to red meat, game and strong cheeses.

Steenberg Catharina Red Blend

The Steenberg Catharina is a Bordeaux blend, with a style reminiscent of the wines from the right bank of the Gironde. No wonder, since this red wine is dominated by Merlot. The grape varieties were fermented separately and aged for 18 months in new and used oak barrels. They were then blended and aged in wood for another 6 months. The result is a subtle, seductive wine.On the nose, the Steenberg Catharina Red Blend reveals a wealth of dark cherries, cigar, coffee, vanilla, cranberries, and dark chocolate. It’s just as complex on the palate, where concentrated fruit flavors of raspberry and red currant come to the fore. Round, with great depth, and enveloped in a velvety texture, its wonderful freshness comes through in the finish.As a food pairing, Steenberg’s Catharina Red Blend complements dark meats with rich sauces exceptionally well.
