Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

A luxurious blend of two of the most popular red grape varieties. This South African wine is carefully crafted to produce a harmonious balance of blackberry, cassis and plum flavours from the Cabernet Sauvignon, and the soft, velvet tannins and fruity aromas from the Merlot. The vineyards of Vergelegen Estate are situated in the picturesque Helderberg region, which offers a perfect terroir for cultivating these two varieties alongside each other. This premium wine has a deep, rich colour and a complex bouquet of spice, vanilla and chocolate with a long, smooth finish. Perfect for pairing with red meat dishes or savoured on its own, Vergelegen Estate Premium Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot is a wine that truly epitomises South Africa's unique wine-making heritage. Vergelegen (meaning “situated far away”) has over 300 years of history, but their philosophy is simple: "There must be harmony between the old and the new."
