Almenkerk Wine Estate is a small family-owned wine estate situated in the Elgin valley just east of Cape Town South Africa.
The estate is owned by the Belgian/Dutch van Almenkerk family and run by Natalie and Joris van Almenkerk. Whilst Joris has fun making award-winning wines Natalie is in charge of sales and marketing PR and admin. Patriarch Joep helps out with sales frequent wine tastings and as a mentor on the business side. As well as that we have a dedicated group of family and friends that come over to help us out by opening the tasting room when we are not around or assisting with the harvest.

Almenkerk Merlot 2019
R348.00
Region: Elgin
Tasting note:
The Almenkerk Merlot 2019 is upfront fruity, dominated by red berries and mulberry, while supported by an attractive wooding reminiscent of cigar box. Generous yet linear, this wine has an unmistakable elegance & poise which follows through on the palate. The lingering graphite tannin structure and distinct minerality makes this a prime example of what cool climate Merlots can be like.
Food pairing:
Their Merlot pairs excellently with lighter dishes such as quail, pheasant & pork.
