West Side Merlot 2024

Wine of Origin: Cape Town
Winemaker: Charles Hopkins

Crafted from the oldest Merlot vineyard on the western slopes of the Tygerberg Hills, where cooling ocean breezes preserve freshness and refine ripening. Produced in limited quantities for the CWG Auction, this maritime-influenced wine combines elegance with precision. Aromas of ripe cherry, graphite and violet lead to a supple yet structured palate, layered with silky tannins, subtle oak, and a lingering finish of fynbos and dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Ripe cherry, graphite and violet aromas with cedar spice. Silky tannins, cassis, fynbos and dark chocolate create an elegant, age-worthy wine.

Ready for drinking in 2027.
