OLDENBURG Merlot - Stellenbosch 2019 Bottle

Description

Oldenburg Merlot from Stellenbosch presents a captivating deep ruby colour in the glass. Initially, the nose is relatively shy, but it soon blossoms with aromas of juniper, loganberries, fynbos, and paprika. This wine is characterised by voluptuous acidity, supported by grippy tannins, which create a bold palate filled with flavours of cloves, pine nuts, and brambles, leading to a sustained and lingering finish. The exceptional oaking regime imparts serious structure and complexity, reflecting Oldenburg's commitment to quality winemaking. This Merlot is delightful for immediate enjoyment, showcasing its vibrant character, yet it also has the potential to age gracefully for up to eight years, making it an excellent choice for both casual sipping and special occasions.
