More information about Selection 16/79 Merlot 2019
Ruby red, the Selection 16/79 Merlot sparkles in the glass and already inspires with its wonderful fruity aroma, which exudes aromas of plums and red berries. A light note of oak rounds off the first impression skillfully. On the palate, the great interplay of aromas of fruity and spicy notes continues in a wonderful way. But not only with its wonderful taste, also with its velvety structure and the soft tannins, which the red wine owes to its twelve-month aging in French and American oak barrels, the Selection 16/79 Merlot can score points all along the line. The red wine is the ideal companion to dishes with pasta or dark meat in a fruity sauce. The Selection 16/79 is a tribute to Simon van der Stel, who as governor founded the wine culture in the Cape.
