88 Vineyards Merlot Medium Sweet

South African wine was first produced in an effort to prevent scurvy among sailors who set off from the port. The South African wine trade was devastated in the 1800s by the fungus phylloxera. As recently as the 1990s, less than 30% of grapes harvested were used for wine production. Ten years later, that number reached 70%.

The wine is bursting with ripe flavours of juicy plums and cherries with hints of spice.
