Riebeek Merlot
Riebeek Cellars
South Africa - Western Cape - Coastal Region - Swartland

One of the most popular wines in the Riebeek range, the Merlot offers an array of red berries and a soft and mellow palate. The style is elegant with well-integrated fruit and oak flavors on the nose. The palate is velvety and smooth with an aftertaste that lingers with the juicy flavors of abundant berries.
