Maroon-edged, deep vermilion in the glass. Aromas of jammy black fruit are joined by bilberry, morello cherry and ripe plum, with subtle herbal notes. The palate is plush and creamy, framed by warm cloves and cinnamon and a hint of stewed plum.
Oh! Merlot is a cool-climate Merlot from Elgin, South Africa, a region celebrated for producing elegant, finely structured wines.
