The 2005 vintage of Meerlust Merlot is being released this month. This is the second vintage of Merlot made at Meerlust under the guidance of Cellar Master Chris Williams.
“The 2005 vintage yielded typically rich, oppulent Merlot with dark fruit flavours, focused minerality and rounded silky tannins. From the beginning the 2005 vintage showed enormous promise and the 2005 Merlot is certainly one of the best ever to be released by Meerlust. A small amount of Cabernet Franc has been added to the 2005 Merlot which gives the wine a firm mid-palate structure while assisting it to mature gracefully” says Chris.
The Meerlust Merlot is sourced from mature vineyards which have been planted on clay rich soils on the Estate. Chris explains further “Clay soils help preserve moisture and prevent any water stress, thus retaining varietal aromas and fully developed, ripe tannins”
