Product Notes

Vergelegen Estate Premium Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot is an exquisite South African wine flaunting a deep ruby hue. This delightful blend boasts an opulent bouquet of ripe dark fruit, rounded off by undertones of gentle spice and light oak. On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, offering a compelling mix of blackcurrant, cherry flavours, and a hint of vanilla. With a firm tannin structure and a lengthy finish, it exudes elegance and sophistication. Perfectly balanced, it's a fine representation of how well the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes can harmonise when expertly crafted.

Tasting Notes

Bright dark red. On the nose striking cassis underlined with cedar and a fresh ripe fruit character. On the palate the freshness carries through with a sprightly lingering finish.
