Talinga Park Cabernet Merlot
The 2020 vintage produced wines that were in balance, with excellent colour and fruit concentration. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot fruit were harvested at optimum ripeness in the cool of the night to preserve delicate fruit flavours. After picking, the grapes were crushed, yeasted and pumped over in a traditional style to avoid the extraction of bitter tannins. The wine was then fermented and matured with some American and French oak treatment.
Winemakers Comments
Deep crimson with youthful purple hues. A medium bodied wine that showcases the youthful aromas of ripe red berry fruits, and rich aromas of plum entwined with spicy flavours and hints of herbs and dark chocolate. On the palate, concentrated blackcurrant and plum, layered with spice, complex silky tannins and subtle well-integrated oak to finish.
Wine & Food Match
Perfect partner to barbecued lamb backstrap with Moroccan spices and cous cous, or a selection of farmhouse cheeses.
