South Africa Merlot

Corbett Canyon Merlot is a delightful expression of red wine hailing from the beautiful landscapes of South Africa. This medium-bodied wine boasts a vibrant color that captivates the eye. On the palate, you’ll find a remarkable balance of acidity that livens up the experience while maintaining a smooth character that makes it incredibly approachable. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing delicious notes of ripe black cherry and plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice that add layers of complexity. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing just enough structure to enhance the wine without overwhelming its smooth and fruit-forward profile. Enjoyed either on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, Corbett Canyon Merlot is a versatile choice that truly reflects the richness of its South African terroir.

With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.
