This blend of grape varieties delivers an opulent red with lots of red berries and some dark chocolate hints. The first vines were planted at Vergelegen in 1700 by founder Willem Adriaan van der Stel and included varieties such as 'Steendruif' (Chenin Blanc) and Muscat de Frontignan. Vineyards also flourished under the Theunissen family's tenure between 1798 and 1899. In the 20th century there were sporadic plantings by various owners, the last of these vines were removed in 1962. The soils of Vergelegen lay fallow until 1987 when the Estate was purchased by Anglo American. The vineyards and winery underwent huge changes and the wines have gone from strength to strength.
Tasting notes: An opulent red blend that delights with lashings of red berries and dark chocolate shavings. The texture is velvety with a plush finish.
