De Grendel is a well established winery that also houses a farm with cattle, sheep, and grain production. Charles Hopkins is the famous winemaker of De Grendel, one of the most respected wine producers in both South Africa and internationally. Its list of awards and accolades includes numerous double gold medals at the prestigious Veritas Awards.
The 100% Merlot grapes come from vineyards that are located 200m above sea level and just 7km from the cool Atlantic Ocean. Soils are rich in minerals and give low yields of 7.5 t per hectare. As a result, the grapes ripen very slowly until they reach optimal quality. The wine is aged for 13 months in French barriques.
De Grendel Merlot has a beautiful ruby color. It is a full-bodied wine with a combination of different berries on the nose, including mulberries, raspberries, and blackberries. The fruity notes are accompanied by aromas of liqueur and mocha on the palate. Aging in oak barrels adds well-integrated spicy notes that give the wine elegance and length. This is the perfect companion for a Sunday roast and for lamb.
