Stonecross Merlot Pinotage

Cottage Pie, Chicken in red wine and Vegetarian pasta.

Dark red colour. Red cherries, strawberries, prunes, plums and a hint of mint add to the complexity. Clean fruity entry with good firm tannins; still young and tight but well-rounded. Good lingering aftertaste, with exceptional fruit expression.

70% Merlot, 30% Pinotage.

Grapes are picked when the perfect balance between phenolic ripeness, soft fruit tannins and fruit aromas are reached. Modern winemaking techniques are applied to maximize freshness and the expression of fruit aromas typical to these noble varietals. Oaking is used moderately as a finishing/polishing component enabling us to produce varietal true wines.
