Information about "Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2018"

The Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has an incredibly deep complexity. Blackcurrants, spices, ripe plums and pleasant wood tones distinguish it. It is full-bodied and lush with ripe tannins that lead to a long and smooth finish. An absolute top Cabernet Sauvignon!

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).
