Serafino has introduced a label named McLarens on the Lake to compliment their successful premium range. Their goal has been to produce a light, easy drinking wine that caters for the everyday consumer at an affordable price.

As a part of the picturesque landscape at McLarens on the lake, a giant 300 year old Eucalypt tree towers over the boutique winery. It is a perfect image to symbolize the strength and character of the wines.

This Cabernet is the final episode to the McLarens on the Lake Trilogy. The fruit is selected from their Communication Road vineyard near Maslins Beach.

The bouquet displays ripe red currant, morello cherry and cedar, while the palate shows blackberry flavours complemented by spicy oak overtones.

A beautifully structured and balanced wine, exhibiting a long lingering finish.

An Elegant Marilyn Merlot Arrives

The release of the 2008 vintage of Marilyn Merlot on June 1st (the birth date of Marilyn Monroe) celebrates the 24th vintage of a wine appreciated by fans of the iconic star, collectors of Marilyn memorabilia, and lovers of fine Napa Valley wines.

Winemakers Notes: "The 2008 vintage Marilyn Merlot is the 24th release of this fine wine. It is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was aged in 100% oak barrels, 35% of which were new for this vintage. Aromas of Herbes de Provence, primarily thyme and lavender complement the oak components of vanilla and smoke from the wood. Moderate alcohol and good acidity make this wine a good pairing with fine foods. Vineyard locations for this wine are from our long time growers in Yountville and Oakville regions of the Napa Valley."

Grapes: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Ciliegiolo

Vinification and Refinement: This Chianti Superiore is the result of a careful selection in Burchino vineyard, inside Colline Pisane production area, of the best Sangiovese grapes together with a small portion of an autochthon grape, Ciliegiolo. Hand picked grapes are immediately fermented in the modern cellars of Burchino. A prolonged maceration with the skins gives to the wines complex aromas and a fruity scent. The ageing takes place for over a year in traditional Slavonian oak casks. The wine is refined in bottle for a further period.

Description: Intense ruby red colour. Characteristic bouquet with plenty of cherry, leather and cedars flavours. The round mouthful with notes of liquorice and tar is wrapped around ripe almost candied fruit.

Food Matches: Ideal with steaks and grilled meats, perfect with mature cheeses. Serve at room temperature.

Wamakersvallei also offers the Bain's Way range of single-varietal wines, both red and white, produced as a tribute to Andrew Bain. Mr. Bain is immortalized in Wellington especially as the creator of 'The Gateway to the North' through Bainskloof Pass, the very slopes of which nurture the vineyards from which Bain's Way wines are produced. The Bain's Way range consists of fruit-driven wines - well rounded and distinctly South African - at unmatched value for money.

VINIFICATION: 100% Pinotage. The grapes were picked at optimum maturity and fermented dry on the skins at 28 C. Thereafter, the free run portion was placed in a second and a third fill oak barrels for 9 to12 months.

TASTING NOTES: Bright strawberry on the nose laced with banana. Complex ripe fruit flavours extend to the palate where smooth tannins ensure a rich mouthfeel.
