Vergelegen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Vineyards
Vergelegen Estate, Stellenbosch
Winemaking and Maturation
The Cabernet was fermented in open/closed tanks at a constant temperature of 25°C and pumped over every 6 hours to maximize colour and tannin extraction. The wine had 16 months in barrel; 40% new oak from coopers Taransaud, Darnajou & Sylvain.
Tasting Notes
The wine is complex, showing blackcurrants, spice, ripe plums and attractive wood aromas and flavours. It is full and rich with soft and voluptuous tannins that bode well for future ageing.
