High Praise From Decanter For Morgenster Estate
09:06:00Regarded as one of the industry’s most prestigious awards, the Decanter World Wine Awards have been announced, and included in their list of top wines is Morgenster Estate’s The Reserve 2016, which scored an impressive 95 points.
This year’s competition included a distinguished panel of nearly 250 leading wine experts, including 20 Master Sommeliers and 61 Masters of Wine, blind-tasted 18 143 wines from 57 countries.
Already an award-winning wine, which includes being named Trophy Winner at the 2023 Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards, The Reserve 2016 is Morgenster Estate’s crown jewel - the epitome of its perpetual pursuit of excellence. This elegant blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot reflects the soul of their unique soil at the foothills of the Schapenberg Mountains in Somerset West. It’s the result of both nature and nurture – a true labour of love.
An elegant and complex wine to enjoy for special occasions or pair with structured hearty dishes and bold flavours such as grilled and roast lamb with garlic and rosemary, beef brasato or mushroom risotto.
