Vergelegen Mill Race Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

The Vergelegen Mill Race is an elegant cuvée from South Africa that reflects the expertise of the traditional Vergelegen winery. The combination of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with small proportions of Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot ensures a harmonious balance between structure, fruit and soft tannins.

Intense aromas of dark berries, ripe plums and blackcurrants unfold on the nose, accompanied by spicy notes such as cedar wood, tobacco and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the red wine is powerful yet supple and velvety, with well-integrated tannins that ensure a long, soft finish. The wine is matured in French oak barrels, most of which are used, which gives the wine additional depth and complexity without masking the fruit.

The Vergelegen Mill Race is an excellent accompaniment to a creamy risotto or a pepper steak. An expressive, accessible red wine with classic elegance.

Warwick The First Lady Cabernet Sauvignon
Der Warwick First Lady Cabernet Sauvignon hat eine tiefe rote Farbe. Im Bouquet rote Beeren sowie schwarze Johannisbeeren mit einem Hauch von Kräutern, ergänzt mit Vanille und Schokolade. Der Wein ist geschmeidig, vollmundig mit reifen Tanninen und guter Struktur.Der 100-Prozent Cabernet Sauvignon reifte 18 Monate lang in französischen Eichenfässern. Mit mehr als 20 Hektar Anbaufläche ist Cabernet Sauvignon die bestimmende Traube beim familiengeführten Weingut Warwick, das insgesamt über eine Anbaufläche von 56 Hektar verfügt. Die Ratcliffes erkannten schnell, dass sich das Terroir in der Provinz Westkap ideal für den Anbau von Cabernet Sauvignon eignet. Der erste Wein, den Norma Ratcliffe kreierte, war dementsprechend ein Cabernet Sauvignon. Deshalb trägt er auch den Namen „First Lady“.Der Wein passt gut zu Lammbraten, Eintöpfen und Schweinefleisch.
