Jordan Chameleon Merlot 2022
R105,00
Jordan’s gardens and willow trees are home to the Cape Dwarf Chameleon. Chameleon is a wonderfully apt name, expressing the changing flavours of these fruit-driven blends’ component varieties.
Mature vineyards yield opulent fruit with plum, rich blackberry and mocha flavours. Framed by generously rounded tannins and spiciness from maturation in French oak, this wine is seductive from start to finish.
