Le Bonheur Merlot

Terroir
Le Bonheur Estate has an enviable terroir. The 163-hectare farm has vineyards facing North, East and South-East, situated on altitudes ranging from 200m to 450m above sea level. The main soil types are Hutton, Tukulu, Klapmuts and Kroonstad. The main component of grapes selected for this wine was sourced from the oldest Merlot vineyard on the estate – planted in 1985

Maturing
The wine represents a selection of the best Merlot barrels of the vintage. The final blend was created after 18 months in 300 liter French oak barrels.

Tasting
Appearance: Dark ruby red.
Nose: Elegant notes of ripe cherries, blackcurrant and cedarwood, with suble hints of potpourri and dark chocolate.
Palate: Medium-bodied with supple and fine tannins. This pleasingly smooth red wine presents generous fruit, silky texture and a fine balance.
Enjoy with Spaghetti Bolognese, and a grilled lamb rump.
