Kloovenburg, die bekende wynlandgoed buite die dorp Riebeek-Kasteel, het vanjaar die hoogste eer in die Hallo Merlot Top-10-kompetisie behaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy Merlot is as die hoogste aangeskrewe wyn bekroon in die derde weergawe van hierdie kompetisie wat jaarliks Suid-Afrika se tien beste Merlot-wyne uitwys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Behalwe die eer dat sy Merlot 2021 die Top-10 aanvoer, het Kloovenburg ook \u2019n nuwe eikehoutvat gewen, met komplimente van die Franse kuipery Taransaud, wat vanjaar weer die hoofborg van die Hallo Merlot Top-10 was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Swartland-streek het dalk die kollig gesteel met die top-aangeskrewe wyn, maar die Stellenbosch-wynstreek het die res van die Hallo Merlot Top-10 oorheers, met agt Stellenbosch Merlot-wyne op vanjaar se ererol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stellenbosch se Nilberg Estate het twee van sy wyne in die top-10 gehad, naamlik die Merlot 2017 en Merlot Reserve 2018, terwyl Bein Private Cellar die derde agtereenvolgende jaar \u2019n topposisie beklee het \u2013 hierdie keer met Bein Little Merlot 2021. Ander Stellenbosse produsente in die top-10 sluit in Delaire Graff (Banghoek Reserve Merlot 2021), Dornier (Merlot 2020), Glenelly (Glass Collection Merlot 2020), Quoin Rock (Merlot 2021) en Zorgvliet (Merlot 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anthonij Rupert Wyne van Franschhoek was ook onder die top-10 met sy Anthonij Rupert Merlot 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dawie Botha, voorsitter van die Merlot-forum en wynmaker by Anthonij Rupert Wyne, s\u00ea die uitslae van die derde Top-10-Merlot-kompetisie beklemtoon weer die algehele verbintenis tot gehalte deur Suid-Afrikaanse wynmakers wat Merlot maak, sowel as die streeks-terroir-uitdrukking wat in die produksie van hierdie wyne gevind word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs die topverkopende enkel-vari\u00ebteit rooiwyn in Suid-Afrika was die ontbrekende skakel in die land se Merlot-aanbiedinge die gebrek aan \u2019n kompetisie om die toestand van die wyne wat van hierdie vari\u00ebteit gemaak word, te beoordeel, sowel as om die beste produsente te erken,\u201d s\u00ea Botha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie derde Hallo Merlot Top-10 het presies dit gedoen, met 63 wyne wat ingeskryf is uit alle groot Kaapse wynstreke, wat die diversiteit van terroir toon wat deur \u2019n kollektiewe verbintenis tot die maak van uitstekende wyne van hierdie gerespekteerde Bordeaux-vari\u00ebteit benut word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMet plaaslike wyndrinkers wat meer Merlot koop as enige ander enkel rooivari\u00ebteit, mik hierdie kompetisie om \u2019n bewustheid van die ho\u00eb standaard van wynmaak en die spesifieke streeksidentiteite wat in die land se Merlot-aanbod gevind word, te skep. Die gewildheid van Merlot is die resultaat van wynliefhebbers wat gehalte ervaar wanneer hulle die wyn geniet, en die kompetisie wil dit ook vier.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
