Rickety Bridge wine estate is undoubtedly one of the most progressive boutique wineries in the Cape. The historic wine making cellar was recently renovated and converted into a barrel fermentation centre, the new winery was built and modern cooling equipment was installed. Shadowed by the Dassenberg mountains, the mild Franschhoek valley is the perfect canvas for new winemaker Wynand Grobler to create a portfolio of outstanding Franschhoek wines.

This Merlot is a dark ruby coloured wine with powerful ripe plum and black cherry fruit on the nose and a rich, juicy palate of red berries and blueberries layered with toasty oak spice. Well structured with soft tannins and a long finish. All grapes used to make this wine were picked by hand.
