Sip of this wine is a good starting point. The bottle is made in England, with wine sourced from a region in South Africa. The ABV is 14.5%. The aroma is muted, with undertones of plum and barnyard. The tastes are balanced, but the freshness is high. The trail is short.

Afrikan Ridge Merlot 2020 has a muted aroma with plum and barnyard notes. While the taste is balanced and fresh, the finish is short. Some find it a good starting point, but others may be disappointed by its lack of aromatic intensity.
This Merlot presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its rich concentration. The nose is a harmonious blend of ripe plum, black cherry, and subtle hints of cocoa, underscored by a whisper of cedar from well-judged oak maturation. On the palate, it reveals a supple texture with velvety tannins, balanced by a vibrant acidity that lifts the dark fruit core. The mid-palate showcases layers of cassis and a touch of herbal complexity, leading to a lingering finish with a refined minerality. This wine exemplifies the elegance and approachability typical of South African Merlot.
