Merlot.

Bright red with purple hues, the Banrock Station Merlot exhibits delightful aromas of Ripe plum, cherry and chocolate melted with hints of vanilla and toasty oak raspberry, blueberry and plum. These aromas are carried through to the palate where the wine displays intense plum, red berry and spice flavours and is well balanced by its fine, subtle tannins and a soft lingering finish.
