Experience the rich complexity of Meerlust's 2014 Merlot, a full-bodied red wine from South Africa's Stellenbosch region. Crafted from 24-year-old estate-grown vines, this wine offers intense dark fruit flavors of mulberry and damson plum with hints of dark chocolate and spice, balanced by refreshing acidity and silky tannins.
