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.
Fermentation occurred in open tanks at high temperatures between 28°C and 32°C, with the cap submerged every six hours to maximize extraction of color and tannins. The wine was kept in contact with the skins until pressing, followed by 16 months of aging in 225 L barrels, 40% of which were new French oak (Taransaud & Darnajou).
