'Merlot may be the biggest red wine category in South Africa, but the number of really top examples is small. This is one of them, made with all five clones on Mount Bullet's five hectares. Graphite and fynbos aromas sashay into a palate of cassis, plum and dark chocolate framed by age-worthy tannins and racy, refreshing acidity. 2024-29' – Tim Atkin, MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100

Producer information The name Shannon pays homage to the owner’s ancestors who come from Irish descent. Located in the Elgin Valley within the Kogelberg Biosphere, Shannon Vineyards’ unique terroir speaks for itself. With the Peninsula Dam creating the eastern boundary of the farm, the vineyards experience a cooling blanket of mist which is such a great geographical influencer on the farm’s climate, that Shannon has included the river mist in their logo. As such, the winemaking follows a minimal intervention approach to allow the different terroirs to be expressed in the wines.
