This Merlot was mainly aged for more than one year in barriques and is redolent of ripe red berries, plums and cedar, along with nuances of chocolate. The Kleine Zalze Cellar Merlot is wonderfully structured on the palate, with ripe, well-integrated tannins, a fresh acidity and a pleasant, fruity lightness. The finish is long-lasting.

This pure varietal Merlot from the Coastal region matured for one year in French barriques. The dry red wine is a delight to enjoy simply on its own but also goes beautifully with a good meal. Try it with roasts, game ragout or biltong (dried, cured meat typical of South African cuisine).

Kleine Zalze

Das südafrikanische Weingut Kleine Zalze, mit deutschen Wurzeln, besteht seit 300 Jahren. Es war immer in Familienbesitz und die hervorragenden Weine des Weinguts lassen auf die fleißige und innovative Entwicklung schließen, die das Weingut Kleine Zalze zu dem gemacht hat, was es heute darstellt. Ein Aushängeschild für südafrikanische Weine, in aller Welt beliebt und begehrt.

Kobus Basson, der heutige Chef des modernen Weinguts, hat seine Philosophie so erklärt: „Eine Kombination der Fruchtaromen und die Intensität der ‚Neuen Welt‘ mit der Eleganz und Struktur der ‚Alten Welt‘ sind der Erfolg für Weine mit Charakter, Komplexität und Balance“. Nach diesem Motto produzierte Weine präsentiert er auf internationalen Wettbewerben, bei denen er immer wieder Goldmedaillen für seine akribisch vinifizierten Weine mit nach Hause nimmt.

Die Strategie im Weinberg ist einfach. Der Erfolg des Winzers beginnt im Weinberg, dort wird das Fundament für große Weine errichtet. Bassons sorgfältige Gutsverwaltung sorgt für umfangreiche, natürliche Ressourcen. Seine innovative, zeitgerechte Arbeit im Weinberg, angefangen bei der Auslaubung und Ertragsreduzierung, über selektive Anpflanzung, Bodenverbesserung, dem Terroir und der Sorte entsprechend, sowie der sorgsame Umgang mit dem Lesegut, bis hin zur Weiterverarbeitung, sichert den Erfolg der Kleinen Zalze.

Seine Weißweine, Rotweine und Cuvées sind legendär. Ob Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz, Mourvedre, Viognier oder Gamay, die Weine für sich oder als herrliche Cuvée kombiniert, sind einzigartig. Eine Auswahl der besten Weine vom Traditions-Weingut Kleine Zalze finden Sie in den Regalen von VineShop24.

Product recommendation

Backsberg Merlot
Backsberg Merlot
Backsberg Merlot has a ruby rot colour. Pungent aromas of raspberry and red plums are tempered by the deft use of French oak maturation. This wine is redolent on the palate with succulent, sweet fruit flavours and finely coated in ripe mouth filling tannins. Smokey and savoury oak characters provide a subtle background to this complex and well balanced Merlot.The wine pairs well with dishes such as duck, lamb, sirloin steak and pastas. Also a great accompaniment to chocolate and mint desserts.
