The Wine
The hunt is over. We’ve found the silkiest, fruit-filled, juicy South African Merlot. The magician behind the artful Escapist is the talented Christo Basson, who works at this well-established, community-minded, Fairtrade winery in the Olifants River region. Over 100 growers supply the cellar with their finest grapes and from these, he selects the best to make this easy-going Merlot. It’s bursting with fresh, herbal aromas and an abundance of juicy red fruit. From Atlantic-cooled sites, these grapes ripen to perfection under the bright Cape sun, whilst retaining lots of juicy freshness. No wine rack is complete without a sprinkling of Merlot magic. And the Escapist 2021 is a delight. Pair it with grilled meats or macaroni cheese.
