Information about "Vergelegen Mill Race Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2023"
The Vergelegen Mill Race Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot charms with its intense, deep red color. It reveals aromas of ripe blackcurrant, juicy blackberries, and plump plums, accompanied by notes of noble cedar, fragrant coffee, and subtle spices. On the palate, it showcases full-bodied, beautifully integrated tannins that lead to a long, elegant finish. This remarkable Bordeaux blend features excellent structure, depth, and concentration.
The hand-picked grapes were gently cooled overnight before undergoing extended maceration and precise temperature-controlled fermentation. This careful approach imparts silky tannins, impressive depth, and a vibrant color to the wine. It then aged for 18 months in French barriques, of which 20% were new, adding finesse and harmonious oak nuances.
