The Casablanca Valley enjoys privileged climatic conditions for producing both red and white grapes. Carménère and Merlot have both shown excellent results here due to the long ripening period that they need. The temperate climate is influenced by the cool air currents from the Pacific and gives rise to a special Merlot with a rich fruit character, balanced acidity and elegance in its components.

The Nimbus Estate Merlot is a deep violet-ruby-red colour with a wide range of red and black fruit aromas such as blackberries, blueberries, and raisins that blend harmoniously with an elegant touch of French oak. Its round tannins lend a delicious velvety texture. Complex and elegant, this Merlot is the perfect example of the true potential of Casablanca Valley terroir.

Try with spaghetti bolognese and boeuf bourguignon.

"A layered and very fine-textured merlot with dark berry and chocolate character."

It was bottled in July 2020. Drink to 2024.
