The Vergelegen The Mistake Merlot presents itself as a true gem of a Merlot. Dark aromas of ripe berries, ripe summer cherries, pomegranate ensnare the nose, accompanied by subtle hints of juicy blackcurrants and cedar. On the full-bodied palate, delicious flavours of ripe plums, dark chocolate and discreet spices join the already sniffed aromas with immensely fine tannin and excellent acidity. An incredibly stylish wine - Vergelegen at its best!

The Vergelegen The Misttake Merlot is certainly not a mistake, as the name might suggest, but rather a misunderstanding between Vergelegen's winemaker André van Rensburg and French oenologist Michel Rolland, who advises over 100 major wineries in over 13 countries worldwide. Michel's idea of 3000 bottles accidentally turned into 3000 cases of wine. From the "left-overs" this masterly drop was skilfully created!
