The Winemasters Reserve Merlot

This Merlot pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, pasta dishes, and medium-aged cheeses, complementing the wine's fruit-forward profile and soft tannins.​

The grapes for this wine are sourced from top-performing vineyards situated in the Darling, Cape Town, and Stellenbosch wine-growing areas. The vines are grown in granite and sandstone soils with good water-holding capacity, resulting in grapes with a higher natural acidity and resulting freshness. ​

The wine is matured in oak, which imparts subtle spice and vanilla notes, contributing to its overall balance and complexity.​

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are gently crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is matured in contact with oak to enhance its complexity and depth.​

Our winemaking legacy spans over two centuries with an immersive collection of award-winning wines from some of the Cape's most storied vineyards. Nederburg’s core range of varietal and blended wines is an expression of its proud legacy of winemaking excellence, dating back to 1791. These classically styled, foodfriendly wines with abundant fruit flavours, elegance and finesse, treasure the integrity of the grapes in every step of the wine-growing and winemaking journey. Every drop demonstrates an unwavering commitment to world-class vineyard and cellar skills.
