Bella Terra Vineyards - Cabernet Merlot - 2021

Discover the winery’s Cabernet Merlot, a wine synonymous with consistency and versatility. Whether you consider it a house wine, a leisurely sipping pleasure, or even “cellar insurance,” this fruity, perfectly balanced, medium-bodied red will keep any party sparkling long after the reserve wines have run out.

This blend of Cabernet and Merlot, aged for just three months in barrels, shows impressive length and surprising power. The elegance is evident in the fresh taste, while the young, spicy tannins add a lively character. The expressive nose reveals aromas of red cherry, raspberry, leather, mint, fresh herbs and a hint of violets. On the palate, red fruit flavours such as raspberry, cherry, red currant and a hint of pomegranate dance, complemented by notes of licorice, blackcurrant and after-eight chocolates. The finish is surprisingly long, with lingering white pepper, making this wine an excellent value for money and a real crowd pleaser.
