Thin wine, disappointing

No, I don't recommend this

Didn’t think I could go wrong with a Merlot, but found it thin and rather bitter, when I was expecting soft and fruity! Wouldn’t buy it again and may have to use it for mulled wine later this year, as I ordered six bottles in the sale.

Great price - we bought two cases of this to distribute amongst friends at Christmas. You can't beat a decent Merlot, and this one was very popular.

Brilliant SouthAfrican Red.

Yes, I recommend this

Have bought this wine in the past ,usually when on offer, as it is such a bargain, Can be drunk on its own or with a meal, extremely fruity wine ,tangy and really good to drink. Like the fact it is also a Fairtrade Wine, which is important as well.

Quality Fairtrade wine

Yes, I recommend this

It was important to have a Fartrade wine for a business reception and this Dolphin Bay Merlot significantly exceeded expectations. It had clear fruit flavors without being too strong. It was therefore ideal for relaxing and drinking with savory starters.

Our wedding wine

Yes, I recommend this

We used this as the red wine for our wedding and it went down very well. Its really reasonable for the quality. We particularly wanted to support the producers through buying Fairtrade so it was brilliant that we could get a good wine at a good price and still be Fairtrade. Highly recommended.

Great everyday red!

Yes, I recommend this

Bought 6 bottles on promotion and have been back a couple of times since to buy more. Really a very drinkable wine and I think the rrp of 5.99 per bottle is very reasonable.
