Tabletop

2004 Western Cape Merlot

Cape Town Select Tabletop is a delightful Merlot from the renowned Western Cape region, showcasing the rich heritage of South African winegrowing. This red wine presents a deep, inviting hue that hints at its complexity. With a medium body, it offers a smooth texture that enhances the experience on the palate. The acidity is bright and lively, balancing the fruit characteristics perfectly. Expect to savor prominent notes of dark cherry and plum, intertwined with subtle hints of spice and tobacco. Its tannins are notably firm, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. This wine is bone dry, making it an excellent choice to pair with hearty dishes or to enjoy on its own, reflecting the warmth and vibrancy of the Western Cape terroir.

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
