Peacock Wild Ferment Merlot 2025
Peacock Wild Ferment Merlot is part of the Peacock range associated with Waterkloof, whose vineyards lie on the slopes of the Schapenberg in Stellenbosch, overlooking the coastal landscape of False Bay. The area's cooler, windswept conditions encourage a longer ripening period, helping Merlot develop expressive fruit, freshness and fine tannins. The wine is made from hand-harvested Merlot grapes sourced from Schapenberg vineyards, with a portion of fruit from Waterkloof's regenerative vineyard also used in the Peacock range. Grapes are destemmed and sorted before spontaneous fermentation with wild yeast in open-top wooden fermenters. Ageing in old barrels adds gentle complexity while keeping the focus on the fruit. The wine is made with no additions other than sulphur and is vegan friendly.
Colour: Deep ruby red with youthful purple highlights.
Nose: Ripe cassis, red cherry and plum lead the aromatic profile, followed by subtle earthy, herbal and gentle cedar notes.
Palate: Fresh and supple, with red berry fruit, black plum and a smooth, rounded texture. Fine tannins provide structure without heaviness, while the wine's freshness keeps the fruit lively.
Finish: Clean and lingering, with berry fruit and a softly savoury impression.
- Food Pairing : Peacock Wild Ferment Merlot is a natural match for lamb chops on the braai, beef stew, bobotie, roast chicken or mushroom pasta. Its supple texture and fine tannins complement savoury meat dishes, while the freshness helps balance richer sauces and slow-cooked flavours. The combination of red and dark fruit makes it versatile enough for both a relaxed braai and a comforting midweek meal.
