| Nose: | Prominent red fruit aromas of strawberry and hints of blueberry. Subtle notes of toasted almonds and nutmeg aromas that follow through on the palate. |
| Variety: | 100 % Merlot |
| Style: | A medium- to full-bodied red fruit-driven wine made in a New World style. |
| Palate: | Rich and ripe tannins give this wine its structure and body. Upfront red fruits fill the palate and leave a lingering after-taste. |

The grapes originate from the Swartland and Agter-Paarl areas. The grapes were picked at optimal fruit ripeness and were allowed to ferment with selected red wine yeast at between 26 °C and 28 °C, with regular pump-overs and punch-downs.
