Description
Bonterra wines are made from top-quality, organically grown grapes and this beautiful Merlot is a great example of their meticulous winemaking. The resulting wine has aromas of blackcurrant, black cherries and a touch of wood smoke with flavours of plums, dark berries, toasty oak and vanilla spice. In the mouth, this wine has an elegant and restrained style with nice structure and balance, soft tannins and a long finish.
