Elgin Vintners6x Merlot 2019

About

In the heart of the Elgin Valley, nestled between vineyard rows, orchards of apples and pears with an amphitheatre of the Kogelberg and Hottentots Holland mountain ranges, lies the home of Elgin Vintners on the Elgin Orchards farm which dates back to 1890. The farm has a deep connection with and understanding of its vineyards and terroir. Meticulous care is taken of the vineyards which produce well-balanced grapes packed with flavour. This process takes a whole season and their role as vintners is to capture this flavour in every glass.
