Realm Cellars, The Tempest Size:6x750ml which generally contains more MerlotA Merlot dominant blend, Realm's 2021 The Tempest is 67% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec, sourced predominantly from Farella in Coombsville. Lovely aromas of cherries are joined by hints of mocha, cedar and vanilla on the nose, while the full bodied palate is juicy and red fruited, supple, with some earthy undercurrents and the barest hint of warmth on the finish.
