M&S Silver Frond Merlot is the medium-bodied red entry in the Silver Frond sub-range, M&S's premium tier within its own-label alcohol-free wine selection. The grapes are sourced from South Africa's Western Cape and the alcohol is removed using spinning cone column technology, a process M&S describes as preserving the wine's natural aromas and flavours. The brand notes a soft and juicy profile with plum and red berry character. The Silver Frond range was developed around varietal character retention, distinguishing it from the retailer's broader own-label alcohol-free wine selection.
