Tasting Note

Aromas of ripe plum intertwined with indulgent dark chocolate and subtle nutmeg notes with a velvety soft finish

Product Notes

Vergelegen Estate Reserve Merlot boasts a deep ruby color and aromas of blackberry, plum, vanilla, and spice. This South African wine is medium-bodied with intense flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and subtle oak notes. It is well-balanced with a silky smooth tannin structure and a long, lingering finish. The grapes used in this wine are handpicked and sorted before undergoing a 12-month aging process in French oak barrels. This results in a complex and sophisticated wine with a subtle hint of tobacco and leather. This Reserve Merlot pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, strong cheeses or dark chocolate desserts.

About the Winery

Vergelegen Estate

Located in South Africa’s Western Cape Province, the Vergelegen Wine Estate has a rich history that dates back to 1700. The Governor of the Cape Province, Williem Adriaan van der Stel, established this estate during that time. By 1798, the Thieunissen family acquired this estate, and started planting many vines here. The family was focused on making wines from here, when the deadly phylloxera virus affected the vines during the 19th century. The wine production, growth of vines and everything else came to a standstill then.
