Plums and fruitcake, generous and smooth and concentrated.

Truly awesome. One of the country's top reds, full of Cape character that harks back to Bordeaux in style.

Named after a former owner of Rustenberg, John Xavier Merriman, who bought the farm in 1892 in sympathy with farmers suffering from the phylloxera crisis.

Ripe dark fruits and a smokey finish.

After its duration in cask for 15 months, it is rounded in the bottle for a further 3 months. A broad, expansively flavoured Rioja.
