Mooiplaas The Coco Chocolate Merlot 4.2 inspired by the gentleTasting Notes The idea with the Coco is to create a wine with dark fruit that is finely integrated with coffee mocha flavours. To achieve this, the wine was fermented and aged on well roasted French oak staves. The Coco has a good colour, nose shows cherry fruit with mocha dark chocolate aromas. A lot of tannin in the wine, but soft and very approachable, finely integrated. The palate is mouth filling, surprisingly complex for such a young wine.
