Uva Mira The Mira Merlot 2019
R270,00
The style of this wine was determined in the vineyard, with careful attention being given to green harvesting, canopy management as well as crop management. Soft yet voluptuous with intense, succulent flavours that explode on the palate and awaken your taste buds. Enchanting and lively with lush scents of red and black fruit laced with vanilla pod, some creaminess and subtle herbal notes, arousing the senses. Succulent purity of fruit on the palate with refreshing acidity, balanced by delectable fruit sweetness and a delicately herbal finale.
