Lanzerac Merlot
From this, one of South Africa’s oldest estates. Concentrated black-berried fruit is edged with sweet vanilla hints and spicy aromas on the nose. Savoury tannins add layers of complexity, gently supporting the flavours of plums, black cherries, cooked strawberries and dark chocolate before a long, integrated finish rounds the wine off in fine style. Its darkly-concentrated core will match savoury terrines and smoked meats.
Producer Profile
Steeped in a history dating back to 1692, the Lanzerac Wine Estate, home to the first bottled Pinotage, is situated at the foot of the majestic Jonkershoek Valley of Stellenbosch. Cellar Master Wynand Lategan has been in charge of making the Lanzerac range of award-winning wines since 2005. Together with his team the range has been honed to maintain the excellent quality that Lanzerac has become known for. Since 2012 Lanzerac vineyards have been undergoing extensive new vineyard developments, as well as eradicating old (virus-infected) vineyards, with the biggest increase in Pinotage and Chardonnay plantings. These new plantings and vineyard changes will see the quality of the wines continue to increase over the next few years.
