The Boekenhoutskloof Vinologist Franschhoek Merlot boasts an incredibly complex bouquet of dark fruit. On the nose, black cherries and dark plums, as well as fine notes of rhubarb, tobacco, mint and oregano. On the palate, this well-balanced Merlot presents itself with a soft start of dark fruit compote, blackcurrants, blueberries and plums and goes over to a focused middle palate with delicious nuances of cedar wood and fine graphite notes. Its well-integrated acidity and elegant tannin structure perfectly round off the palate and finish in a long and fine finish with notes of dark chocolate, mocha and bay leaf.

The grape material for this complex Merlot was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with minimal intervention in the natural fermentation process. After completion of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine matured for several months in selected oak barrels.
