Longridge Merlot 2020
Bb64C909 4B6D 4309 Aba2 Ec2690A275Fb Delaine Immelman

Longridge Merlot 2020

R230,00

This vintage delivered a medium bodied wine with a savoury nose and slight cedar characters. Ripe, yet soft tannins complement the aromas of plump, dark, red fruit and ripe strawberries with a hint of dark chocolate, cocoa green herbs and wet stones on the nose. Well integrated vanilla oak and enough backbone to age further in the bottle.
