WHY IS IT SPECIAL?

What makes Protea Merlot especially compelling is its friendly, fruit-driven profile combined with environmental integrity. The wine emphasises juicy black and blue berry fruit, gentle leafy undertones, and a cocoa nuance — all backed by a sustainable production ethos. For collectors who value both quality and purpose, this Merlot offers excellent drinkability now, plus enough structure for moderate cellaring, at a very accessible price.

 

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: Bright black and blue berries, with a leafy brush and a touch of cocoa from oak.

Palate: Plush and juicy, with plum, mulberry, cherry and ripe black fruit, balanced by gentle spice and dark chocolate undertones.

Finish:  Smooth and lingering, with soft tannins and a rich, fruity tail that echoes cocoa and berry sweetness.

Product details

Protea Merlot is made by Anthonij Rupert Wyne across various estate sites including Franschhoek, Paarl, Darling, and Robertson. It is 100% Merlot and is vinified in stainless-steel to preserve fresh fruit character, before being matured for roughly 12 months on French oak staves to add structure without masking its fruit purity. The Protea wine range is committed to sustainability, with eco‑friendly packaging and a conservation-focused philosophy.

Food Pairing

Protea Merlot pairs beautifully with roast beef or Lamb, where its plush plum and blackberry flavours stand up to hearty meat. It also matches well with mushroom pasta or risotto, letting its subtle leafy and cocoa notes shine. For a more indulgent pairing, try it alongside dark chocolate desserts, or with soft‑ripened cheese like Brie, to highlight the velvety texture and fine spice of the wine.
