Merlot

Once again, our Merlot illustrates a characteristics site specificity, found only at Oldenburg Vineyards. The cooler valley helps to retain the fresh floralness and fruit of this delicious wine. In the glass, a ruby core suggests flavours of red fruit, which are indeed found on the nose, in the form of sour red cherries, red plums and cranberries. A savoury element of sundried tomatoes, rosemary, lavender and cinnamon adds a complexity to the otherwise fruit forward wine. On the palate, a racy acidity carries the fruit, whilst the structured fine-grained tannin rounds off a stunning mouth-feel. A beautiful wine, which will hold up incredibly well over the next 8 – 10 years.
