Information about "Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2021"

The Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve captivates with its impressive complexity, featuring aromas of blackberries, spices, and ripe plums, harmoniously complemented by wood tones. This full-bodied, opulent wine displays ripe tannins and a long, smooth finish. The 2021 vintage is celebrated as one of the best in the Cape, reflecting the estate's distinctive terroir, with vines cultivated in ancient, deep red soils.

Treatment in the cellar

Die Gärung erfolgte in offenen Tanks bei hohen Temperaturen zwischen 28°C und 32°C, dabei wurde der Tresterhut alle sechs Stunden untergetaucht, um die Extraktion von Farbe und Tanninen zu maximieren. Der Wein verblieb aus gleichem Grund im Kontakt mit der Maische, ehe er abgepresst wurde. Anschließend reifte er 16 Monate lang in 225 L Barriques aus 40% neuer französischer Eiche (Taransaud & Darnajou).
