Rascallion With Love from the Cape Merlot 2023
Merlot
Description
Rascallion Wines is a proudly South African producer known for crafting expressive, accessible wines with personality and a sense of place. The With Love from the Cape range celebrates the easy-going charm of the Western Cape, drawing fruit from vineyards influenced by warm sunshine and cooling ocean breezes that help grapes ripen fully while retaining freshness.
Â
This combination of generous fruit and natural balance suits Merlot particularly well, allowing soft tannins, ripe plum flavours and supple texture to develop without heaviness. Rascallionâs approach leans modern and approachable: wines made to be enjoyed rather than overcomplicated, while still reflecting the fruit quality and versatility of the Cape winelands.
Â
Colour:
Bright ruby red with youthful garnet edges.
Â
Nose:
Ripe plum, black cherry and mulberry lead the aromatics, followed by hints of cocoa, sweet spice and a touch of cedar.
Â
Palate:
Medium-bodied and smooth, with juicy dark berry fruit at the core. The tannins are soft and rounded, giving shape without firmness, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and easy to drink. A gentle savoury note adds interest behind the fruit.
Â
Finish:
Clean and moderate in length, ending on plum skin, soft spice and a whisper of mocha.
