Cape Jaffa Wines :: Brocks Reef Cabernet Merlot 2005

                             

BROCKS REEF
Cabernet Merlot 2005
LIMESTONE COAST

A product of mateship, the Brocks Reef range is produced using best parcels of fruit selected from neighbouring premium vineyards across the Limestone Coast.

The 2005 growing season was warmer than average producing robust wines with excellent intensity at all levels.  Our cabernet merlot is a blend of some of the best parcels of fruit available in the region. All batches are fermented separately in stainless steel fermenters, then matured in French barriques for 18 months, before being carefully blended.

This clever blend of 75% cabernet and 25% merlot has a complex nose of red berries with hints of cedar.  The palate is medium-bodied with great fruit intensity and well-integrated oak.
