Information about "Vergelegen V 2018"
The Vergelegen V is a masterful blend, comprising 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. This wine captivates with its pristine freshness and intricate aromas of spice, dark chocolate, and cedar. With a deep ruby color, it exudes sophistication and elegance, embodying the pinnacle of winemaking from the esteemed estate in Somerset West. Since its inaugural vintage in 2001, the Vergelegen V has been consistently celebrated for its quality.
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.
