Morgenster
Under the foothills of the majestic Helderberg Mountain in Somerset West, lies Morgenster Estate. Home to award-winning Bordeaux-style wines, small pockets of Italian varieties, and extra virgin olive oils. A pioneering South African estate meticulously cultivated by our Italian father, grandfather and founder, Giulio Bertrand. Where African soil meets Italian flair. His vigour and passion have inspired us to keep innovating with renewed energy and to push Morgenster into a brand-new era of excellence. Sustainably-focused, world-class, remarkable wines and extra-virgin olive oils. Our Estate, it’s part of us. The Bertrand Family
Description
This Merlot is characterised by prominent notes of elegant red fruit, sour cherries, cranberries and cassis, complimented by pencil shavings, vanilla, clove and subtle toasty oak. On the palate, an integration of vibrant fruit and freshness. Elegant, chalky tannins make for a lingering finish of sour cherries and coffee.
Food Pairing
Pasta dishes with pancetta and tomato-based sauces. Grilled chicken with Mediterranean vegetables. Roast beef or lamb with a delicious reduction. Or simply enjoy this wine with a charcuterie board of pâtés, terrines & a selection of cured meats.
