Molu Merlot, Kalfu
The Kalfu ranges are linked to the sea creatures depicted on the labels: Molu means 'where the sun sets' - historically it was believed that during the day stars would hide in the sea and become starfish. Molu is Kalfu's Reserva range.
Deep violet red with ruby hues at the rim. Aromas of black cherry and raspberry, complimented by notes of vanilla, spices and dark chocolate from oak ageing. In the mouth it has a balanced acidity, round tannins and a soft finish.
