Duke Merlot

About the Wine The Duke Merlot by Wellington Wines is an approachable, character-driven South African red crafted in the Wellington valley. In the glass, it shows a dense ruby or deep purple hue. The nose reveals aromas of dark berries, ripe plum, milk chocolate, and oak spice. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, fruit-forward profile with plum and cherry notes, soft tannins, and balanced acidity, leading to a long, well-rounded finish. Aged for 12 months in French oak, this medium-bodied red offers great depth and easy drinkability.
