Rickety Bridge Foundation Stone Merlot

Foundation Stone is Rickety Bridge’s everyday range from the Franschhoek valley, and the Merlot is the crowd-pleaser in it. Generous and rounded, with ripe plum, strawberry and cocoa on the nose and a hint of mint that gives it lift.

On the palate it’s approachable from the first sip: soft tannins, gentle oak, and a smooth, easy finish. No cellaring required.

Serve at cool room temperature with burgers, pizza, roast chicken, a braai, or a Tuesday.
