This popular range of premium wines honours generations of Nederburg winemakers collaborating with nature to bring you these classically styled, food-friendly wines. The grapes were sourced from top-performing vineyards situated in the Darling, Cape Town and Stellenbosch wine-growing areas. The vines are grown in granite and sandstone soils with good water-holding capacity, resulting in grapes with a higher natural acidity and resulting freshness. Open vineyard canopies bring about greater sunlight penetration of the grape bunches, contributing to a well-balanced acidity, in turn contributing to better tannin structure and fruit expression as well as deeper colour intensity. Food pairing: with BBQ, casseroles, venison, beef burgers, pizza and pasta dishes. Serving temperature: 15-18° C. Taste: Flavours of succulent red fruits, black cherries and juicy plums, with a velvety texture and elegant finish. Appearance: Bright red. Aroma: Aromas of red fruit, black cherries, plums and hint of chocolate. Grape variety: Merlot
