    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The Merlot used to just come from 1ha of clay driven soils in the Blaauwklippen subzone of Stellenbosch – a site that Chris Alheit put Lukas on to. This year Lukas added fruit from the Devon Valley, also clay, well suited to Merlot. 60% Devon, 40% Blaauwklippen, aged in 3rd and 4th fill French barrique for a year. A wine that overdelivers on its price point, it is an accessible, high quality wine with a fair amount of substance.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2022 Merlot Break A Leg matured in third-fill French oak. "I thought I'd never make a Merlot," Van Loggerenberg remarks as he pours the wine. It has quite a perfumed and minty bouquet that is nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a delineated and unassuming entry. It doesn't want to make too much of a fuss, but that is its strength. Slips down the throat with ease.
