A bold, fruit-driven blend combining the supple character of Merlot with Ruby Cabernet, Montagu’s most widely planted red variety. Sourced from selected vineyards in the Keisie, Goedemoed and Rietrivier valleys, the wine displays a deep, vibrant colour and generous aromas of ripe dark fruit. The palate is juicy and approachable, with succulent blackberry and plum flavours supported by remarkably soft tannins. Smooth and well balanced through the finish, this is an easy-drinking red to enjoy now, with sufficient structure for short-term cellaring.
