The Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot flows into the glass in an attractive dark red colour. The nose shows intense aromas of cassis, fine blackberry notes as well as delicious plum tones, paired with notes of fine cedar wood, fragrant coffee and subtle spices. The tannins are fine, ripe and superbly integrated, ending in a long finish. A highly endowed Bordeaux-style wine of remarkable structure and dense concentration.

The grapes were picked by hand and cooled overnight. Long maceration and temperature controlled fermentation give the wine soft tannins, incredible complexity and stable colour. The wine then matured for 18 months in 20% new French barriques.
