Plaisir de Merle Shiraz

Notes - A Distell showpiece, this 1 000 hectare estate in Simondium, Paarl, has earned international acclaim for its white and red wines. Winemaker Niel Bester attributes the benefits of not only working with great fruit coming from a very unique terrain, but also getting the valuable input from Dr Paul Pontallier, MD at Chateau Margeaux. An historical farm established in 1687, producing wines that are classically styled and accessible, is the goal for all involved. Only produced in limited quantities this wine has tobacco / smoky notes evident from ageing in French and American oak. It has lush, sweet-fruited ripeness and burly but gentle tannins.
