Tasting Note Warming, full-bodied red with silky plum and blackberry fruit and rich chocolaty oak. Smooth, ripe tannins on the palate cushion the fruit and provide the all important structure. Classic sun-drenched Cape Merlot. 14.5% A bit about Kloovenburg The son of a celebrated Springbok rugby player, Pieter du Toit prefers viticulture to scrumming down with seven other grown men. He made his first Shiraz in 1998 but its immediate success led him to diversify and now grows Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet too. Located in the shadow of Kasteelberg mountain in Swartland, the family also grow olives and Pieter’s wife Annalene is as well regarded for her oil as Pieter is for his reds. Pieter du Toit's wines are all made in a classic New World style with deep, concentrated fruit and sweet, ripe tannins. The Merlot is a big red lovers' dream come true: full-bodied and rich with an abundance of black fruit flavours crammed into the bottle (6 x 75 cl)
