Hoopenburg The Guru Merlot is a 100% Merlot wine known for its delicate berries and strawberry nose, a medium-bodied palate, and round, soft, yet firm tannins. The grapes are sourced from bush vines on the 35 ha farm and harvested at 24° balling to capture the natural fruit character. Fermentation and malolactic fermentation occur in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is aged using alternative wood products before minimal filtration and bottling
