Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Vergelegen Mill Race is a classic Bordeaux blend that impresses with elegance and character. On the nose, intense aromas of dark berry fruits such as black currants and plums unfold, accompanied by fine notes of cedar wood, violets, and a hint of dried herbs.
On the palate, the wine shows a medium body and a perfect balance of fruit, structure, and freshness. The ripe tannins provide support, while aromas of dark Chocolate, mokka, and a hint of licorice give the wine depth and refinement.
The finish is long, soft, and juicy, with a subtle spice and beautiful fruit persistence. The Mill Race is an expressive red wine that brings a lot of joy already, but also has good aging potential.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
