Information about "Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2021"
The Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve showcases remarkable complexity, with captivating notes of blackberries, spices, and ripe plums complemented by inviting wood nuances. This full-bodied wine features ripe tannins that contribute to a long, silky finish. 2021 is heralded as one of the best vintages in the Cape in recent years, reflecting the unique terroir of the estate, with its vines nurtured in ancient, deep red soils.
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).
