Product information "Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2012"
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.

Die Trauben wurden per Hand gelesen und über Nacht gekühlt. Durch die lange Mazeration und temperaturgesteuerte Gärung erhält der Wein sanfte Tannine, eine unglaubliche Komplexität und stabile Farbe. Der Wein reifte anschließend 18 Monate in 20 % neuen französischen Barriques.
