Colour: Medium to deep purple/red with light purple hues
Bouquet and Palate:
The Banrock Station Cabernet Merlot displays rich ripe
blackcurrant and plum nuances with hints of red cherry and red
fruit lift. The lively fruit notes are supported by a very subtle oak
influence. This is a medium bodied red wine that exhibits a great
balance of ripe fruit character, sweetness and complexity. The
blackcurrant, cherry palate is supported by the sweetness of the
oak. Coupled with the delicacy of the fruit and oak is an
enjoyable acid structure allowing the wine to finish smoothly
with lingering flavour.
Food: Enjoy served with rich, creamy pasta dishes, roast chicken
with lemon or blue cheese with a quince paste.
