Description
Pronounced ripe mulberry and plush red cherry aromas with soft touches of vanilla and expressive dark chocolate – the hallmark profile of the 1685 Merlot line. On the palate, vibrant red and dark fruit flavors—mulberry, plum, black cherry—are supported by refined wood tannins. The finish offers a savory fynbos and subtle roasted coffee-bean character, delivering a multi-layered, elegant style.
Food Pairing
A versatile, food-friendly Merlot. Pairs excellently with grilled lamb, roast poultry, beef teriyaki, and richly flavored pasta dishes. Also well‑matched with aged cheddar or Gouda.
