The Vergelegen Estate (vergelegen meaning 'situated far away') was given to the governor of the Cape in 1700. The Mill Red Blend forms part of the trio that is the Heritage range, where each wine represents a significant place on the Vergelegen Estate, in this case the remains of a historic mill.
Succulent berry notes and fine tannins. An opulent red blend that delights with lashings of red berries and dark chocolate shavings. The texture is velvety with a plush finish. A heady blend of 41% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon,12% Syrah, 12% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
Best paired with a bowl of creamy risotto or peppery grilled fillet. Drinking beautifully and will improve even more in the bottle over the next 5 years.
