Rainbow’s End Merlot 2021

Rainbow’s End Merlot 2021

R265,00

This is a fruit driven Merlot with plums and mulberry on the nose, low alcohol levels, smooth and well integrated palate, with none of the greenness that South African Merlot’s tend to be known for. We go through great lengths to produce a well structured and concentrated Merlot.

Dark deep crimson colour. Aromas of blueberries, ripe plums and a faint spiciness towards the end. Full velvety mouth feel with hints of berry compote, mulberries and ripe plums. This is a well structured wine with rounded tannins balancing out opulent fruit and a long lingering finish.

More Information

In the cellar

12 Months in 33.3% new wood, 33.3% second fill and 33.3% third fill French barrels. Two rackings during wood-maturation thereafter bottled without filtering or fining. Natural deposits may therefore be found in the bottle.

In the vineyard

SA climate is not conducive to producing good Merlot, it is too warm. Rainbow’s End with its high-lying slopes has lower temperatures on average, correcting the problem. Merlot is planted 550m above sea level on our highest slopes.

12 months
