Buy this wine because this version of the ever popular Merlot is a little more serious, showing a more complex, robust character which contribute to its ageing potential.
It pairs great with a pan-seared steak, coated in olive oil and salt, but definitely will do justice to a home-made Boontjie bredie (Bean stew)
