Stock up your winter
wine arsenal with Fleur du Cap Bergkelder Selection Merlot and Cabernet
Sauvignon for a cosy fireside quaffer and a perfect companion for hearty winter
comfort food.
Crafted from the pick
of the crop in the Western Cape’s finest vineyards, this well-known range
offers quality wines that are true to their varietal character and have a close
affinity to nature.
“The newly released
2012 vintages of both our Bergkelder Selection Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon
are packed with elegant berry fruit flavours supported by gentle tannins that
leave you with a wonderful ultra-smooth finish,” says Wim Truter who is
responsible for Fleur du Cap red wines and works closely with cellarmaster
Andrea Freeborough and viticulturist Bennie Liebenberg, crafting wines as
nature intended, following the style inherent in the grapes
themselves.
“Because the quality
and character of every wine starts in the vineyards, we are in the enviable
position to source the best grapes from a diverse range of vineyard sites and
micro climates throughout the Western Cape, each imparting special qualities to
our wines,” adds Wim.
Adventurous food lovers
who enjoy everything from spicy Mediterranean to full-flavoured duck or guinea
fowl dishes, will delight in the Bergkelder Selection Merlot 2012. This ruby
red, full-bodied wine teems with vibrant cherry, plum and prune aromas that
follow through onto a velvety soft, mouth filling palate.
