Durbanville Hills
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.
Description
The 2023 vintage of Durbanville Hills Merlot showcases an abundance of red cherry and fresh raspberry aromas, complemented by subtle hints of peppermint and cinnamon. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a velvety smooth tannin structure, featuring ripe red berries, particularly red cherries and raspberries, and lingering sweet baking spices on the finish.
Food Pairing
This Merlot pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate mint and raspberry, as highlighted in Durbanville Hills' wine and chocolate pairing experiences.
