Merlot Cellar Selection - Kleine Zalze

The Merlot Cellar Selection by Kleine Zalze from the Coastal Region presents a dense, purple color in the wine glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from South Africa reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of blackberry, blueberry, mulberry and black currant, rounded off by toasted barrique, cigar box and oak wood contributed by the barrel aging.

The Kleine Zalze Merlot Cellar Selection presents itself to the wine drinker wonderfully dry. This red wine is never coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine in the upper price range. This velvety red wine is full-bodied and multifaceted on the palate. Due to its concise fruit acidity, the Merlot Cellar Selection is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. The final of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region Coastal Region, more precisely from Stellenbosch, finally convinces with good reverberation.
