Teperberg Merlot Essence 2016

Essence Merlot is a combination of two complementary vineyards. The first, located at the Ella Valley, gives the wine its velvety softness, while the second, located at the Efraim Mountains, contributes to its solid structure. Following 18 months maturation in oak barrels, the final blend is dark red and has an aromatic combination of cherry and strawberry with a gentle scent of tobacco and pine. The wine texture is soft and smooth, on the palate it has an oak and ripe fruit sweetness.

Medium to full'bodied and fruit-forward Merlot with notes of ripe red fruits and toasty oak. Green notes and hints of earth are distinctive with ripe tannins lingering on the finish.
