Compagniesdrift（公司坡）：这片温暖的北向坡地土壤主要由风化花岗岩构成。源自这片花岗岩山顶的葡萄酒风格鲜明、结构强劲，粗糙的砾石质地与充足的土壤深度促进葡萄长时间均匀成熟，是其关键成因。
The Quarry（采石场）：由灰瓦克岩与页岩互层构成的极端多石地形，为葡萄藤提供独特生长基质。这片凉爽多风的山麓坡地上，浅根葡萄藤孕育出以红色水果为特征的葡萄酒，在 Meerlust 庄园风土中，展现出突出的余韵、细节与精准度。

Our Merlot is a true expression of the variety as grown on the Meerlust estate and draws fruit from two of our four distinctive terroirs. Each terroir provides a unique element to the final blend.
Compagniesdrift - The soils from this warm north facing slope are predominantly formed from   weathered granite. The wines originating from this granitic hilltop are expressive and bold in structure, mainly due to the coarse gravelly texture and sufficient soil depth to promote long and even ripening.
The Quarry - The extremely rocky terrain consisting of greywacke with interbedded shales provides a unique substrate for vines. Shallow rooted vines on this cool and windswept foot slope leads to wines with characteristic red fruit with exceptional length, detail, and precision.

Characteristics：Deep red with purple edges. Typical Merlot characteristics on nose with ripe plum and dark cherry notes underpinned by some dried herbs and oak spice. The palate is generous, while still delicate on the finish, showing complex cherry tobacco flavours coupled with a fine acidity. This wine shows the elegance and fruit purity of the 2020 vintage and as with all Merlot’s from the estate, will age gracefully and will gain in complexity and suppleness of tannin for many years to come. Ageing Potential – 10 - 15 years, provided wine is stored in ideal cellar conditions
