Product information "Vergelegen Shiraz 2013"
The Vergelegen Shiraz is a dark Shiraz of violet-red colour in the glass. It is characterised by aromas of violets, spices, chocolate, smoked peat and black berry fruit. Its ripe and soft tannins provide a well-balanced acidity and lead to a long, clean and fruit-dominated finish. Its texture is incredibly soft and smooth. A Shiraz of gifted elegance!

The grapes were picked by hand and cooled down to -20°C overnight. The following day they were sorted, destemmed and subjected to a 7-day swelling phase at temperatures between 8° and 10°C before the yeast was added. After fermentation, the wine rested for 35 days and then matured for 16 months in second and third barrels of 225 litres of oak.
