About

The Porcupine Ridge brand has its origins in the natural environment of the farm and the ongoing efforts to conserve the biodiversity on the property and the surrounding mountains. In addition to a number of rare fauna and flora species – such as the Erica Lerouxiae which is endemic to Boekenhoutskloof – the farm is home to several Crested Porcupine families, which are however rarely seen due to their nocturnal lifestyle.

Product Features

• Controlled fermentation in stainless steel ensured good extraction and colour stability.
• Tannin management is vital with Merlot and therefore we chose to use old French oak barrels to focus on fruit rather than oak extraction.
• A classic nose shows red plums, cranberry, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg at play with intriguing whiffs of rosemary, thyme & oregano. 
• The wine is light and elegant with an exceptionally smooth midpalate and a plush, silky texture, showing darker berry fruit flavours with fine-grained integrated tannins and a balanced acidity. 
• Subtle hints of mocha and dark chocolate linger on a vibrant finish.
• Enjoy with roast beef, lamb, or pork.
