Information about "Vergelegen V 2018"
The Vergelegen V offers a splendid fusion of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. This wine exemplifies freshness and complex fragrances of spices, dark chocolate, and cedar. Its deep ruby hue ensures an impression of refinement and grace, representing the pinnacle of the celebrated Somerset West estate's winemaking legacy. Since its first vintage in 2001, the Vergelegen V has consistently been commended for its excellence.
The grapes are handpicked and fermented in closed tanks at temperatures of 28-30°C. The young wine undergoes a 28-day post-fermentation process, followed by malolactic fermentation in new French oak. It matures in barrels for 16 months and ages an additional 24 months in the bottle before release.
