Fleur Du Cap
Essence Du Cap Merlot

Full-bodied, ruby coloured red has aromas of dark chocolate, black cherry and plums underlined by elegant wood spices.

This wine is the perfect partner to spicy Mediterranean food, fish or duck.

Essence du cap | Range | Fleur du Cap

For our Essence du Cap range, we follow a best-of-all-worlds approach where we carefully identify and separate blocks that offer different characteristics to a blend. Our winemakers create building blocks during harvest time by using the finest grapes from different vineyard blocks on different farms, using more than one type of yeast or oak barrel. This allows our passionate team to sit down after harvest time and literally “build” an exceptional wine through careful blending and tasting.
