Merlot Reserve Wine

Wine of Origin Stellenbosch

The Reserve Merlot is a very special wine. It originates from a micro-site within our vineyard that has been identified for its superior qualities by means of Precision Viticulture.

This wine is characterised by more total tannins with finer texture, deeper colour, greater volume, and intense dark berry flavours. Matured for one year in 100 new 225L oak barrels from top French cooperages, it is a gorgeous wine of great complexity, rich and full-bodied. The Bein Merlot Reserve is of seductive charm in its youth, but will age gracefully for many years.

We will produce this wine in vintages only, where these characteristics are so distinct that it justifies a separate bottling. This was the case in 2008, while the 2010 looks very promising too so far.
