Merlot

This Merlot pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate mint and raspberry, as highlighted in Durbanville Hills' wine and chocolate pairing experiences. ​

The Durbanville Hills vineyards are situated in the Durbanville ward, one of the Cape’s coolest wine regions. The area benefits from sea breezes drifting inland from False Bay and Table Bay, along with late afternoon mists that bathe the slopes. These conditions contribute to the unique terroir and character of the wines produced.

The unique location of Durbanville Hills’ cellar a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre, offers not only a spectacular view of Table Mountain and Table Bay but also an extraordinary terroir that stabilises temperatures and eliminates extremes of heat and cold. Although the Durbanville area is renowned for its SAUVIGNON BLANC that excels under the cool conditions where it is grown mostly on the cool south-facing slopes, the range of RED WINES also benefit from the warmer valley outskirts and opposing northern slopes.
