Jan Fiskaal Merlot
An elegant, classic style of Merlot with distinctive plum flavours and soft tannins. Dark ruby-red with aromas of plum, cherry and tobacco spices, complemented by savoury and earthy notes typical of Merlot. On the palate, the wine is soft with gentle tannins and hints of dark chocolate and blueberry. The finish is long and lingering.

In the Cellar
From selected unirrigated vineyards in Agter-Paarl producing naturally low yields with small berries. Grapes were hand-harvested at between 24 and 25 degree balling, crushed and de-stemmed, then fermented over 7 days in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs. The wine was pressed and put back into tank for malolactic fermentation. The wine was matured in mainly American oak barrels for 12 months. A small portion of unoaked wine makes for softer complexity. Contributing to the structure and the body is 15% Cabernet Sauvignon which was blended in. Fined and filtered before bottling.
