Guardian Peak Wines brought to you by the dynamic partnership in wine of Jean Engelbrecht and Ernie Els

Fat Bastard Merlot is sourced from select vineyards throughout the Languedoc-Roussillon.  The area is known for its stony soil, which naturally limits yields and lends a fresh, fruit-forward character and mature tannins to the final wine.  

Deep, dark-red in colour with elegant notes of plum and black cherry followed by subtle nuances of caraway and black pepper.  On the palate, it is fresh, full and juicy with solid mad palate weight and an expansive, round finish.

This Merlot truly shines when enjoyed with grilled steaks, sausages and burgers with Havarti cheese.  Ideal for your next barbecue!

The Painted Wolf is also known as the African Wild Dog or Painted Dog - a highly social animal, each with its own ornate markings.  The den is at the heart of the pack, a place where Painted Wolves relax and bond.  The Den Pinotage is luscious, fruit-packed and full-bodied - a social wine to enjoy with family, friends and good food.

As you "paint your palate" with this wine your are making a contribution to the conservation of this rare and endangered animal.
