This final vintage marks the close of a storied chapter in Stellenbosch winemaking—a poignant farewell in a glass. The Last Merlot 2023 is a deep, brooding ruby red, echoing the richness of its legacy.
Classic pencil-shaving notes from French oak rise on the nose, balanced beautifully with ripe blackberries, red cherries, and a hint of cassis. Subtle undertones of cedar and dried violets add depth.
The palate is rich and composed, with layered dark fruit and finely structured tannins guiding a long, graceful finish. Poised and expressive, this is more than a wine—it’s a fitting farewell.
A wine of balance, depth, and quiet power—The Last Merlot 2023 is more than a final vintage. It is a tribute. A swan song. The end of an era, captured in one last, unforgettable bottle.
