Product details

Fleur du Cap Merlot is a single-varietal Merlot from the Western Cape, South Africa. It typically shows about 13.5% alcohol and is made by Bergkelder Ltd.

Cellaring Potential: While the Fleur du Cap Merlot is highly drinkable on release, it has enough structure and fruit to mature over 4–7 years, developing richer tertiary layers of leather, spice, and forest floor.
