About
Boutique wines from Durbanville. The fertile Durbanville soil, quality of the dry-land Merlot grape, as well as the high rainfall, warmer summer days and cooler nights all contribute to the quality of Maastricht wines. Hand-picked grapes at full phenolic ripeness were fermented in open fermenters; punched through every 3 hours. Malolactic fermentation took place in tank before the wine was racked into 225L French Oak barrels. Minimum fining and filtering were done before bottling.
Product Features
- A great example of cool-climate Merlot.
- The nose shows hints of the spicy characteristics of the variety but is complemented by dark berry fruit flavours.
- The influence of French oak plays a supporting role and does not overpower the wine, allowing the fruit to shine through.
- These flavours follow through on the palate, finishing with a juicy and elegant mouthfeel, typical of the Durbanville area.

Making a cup of tea for someone is a more complicated process than you first think
Which way are we leaning: Rooibos or regular? Milk: yes or no? The standard sugar inquiry, a two-part question if the first answer is yes.
And if you have your black belt in tea-making, one final question concerning the tea bag: in or out?
How are you supposed to remember that all if you're making tea for, oh say, 3 people?
It doesn't concern today's deals at all, but we had to think about something while we waited for the kettle to boil.
