Durbanville Hills winery in the Cape draws its grapes from a group of neighbouring historic farms, mostly established at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. The Hills wines are marked by prominent fruit flavours balanced with finesse, and our personal favourite in this range is without doubt the smooth, easy-drinking Merlot.
Winemakers: Martin Moore and Louw Engelbrecht
Colour: Light ruby
Nose: Ripe berry character with dark chocolate and slight mintiness in the background
Taste: Medium bodied fruity with a soft and elegant, palate laced with ripe fruit and spicy vanilla
Food pairing: An ideal partner to robust dishes made from game poultry, venison and red meats, especially stews and casseroles
