Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon – Merlot is a Stellenbosch red blend in a refined Bordeaux style. Cabernet-dominant with Merlot, it offers depth and balance: dark berry fruit, subtle oak, and savory notes. Structured yet approachable, it ages gracefully and pairs with grilled meats, roast lamb, venison, and hard cheeses.
