Our Grand Reserve Meritage is an expertly crafted blend of all 5 of the classic Bordeaux grape varietals - Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Merlot (40%) and Cabernet Franc (7%), Malbec (10%) and Petit Verdot (3%). This wine was aged in new French and American oak barrels for 18 months to add complexity and structure. Deep ruby in colour, our Meritage has a nose dominated by aromas of ripe raspberries, plums and vanilla underscored with chocolate and spicy black pepper. The concentrated fruit flavours of berries, chocolate and coffee intricately fold with the firm leather tannins providing an elegant prolonged finish.
