The 'V' from Vergelegen
South Africa
Region : Stellenbosch
Producer : Vergelegen
Color :
Vintage : 2004
Format :
Alcohol content : 14.50
Varietal : Blend
Tasting :
The nose is complex, showing blackcurrant, cedar wood, lead pencil and cigar box aromas. These develop in the glass and are joined by raspberry, black cherry, spice and a hint of gaminess. On the palate the wine is concentrated but elegant, with fine-grained tannins.
These tannins soften even further in the glass, resulting in a luxurious wine with a long aftertaste.

Description :
The grapes were carefully selected from Vergelegen’s Stonepine and Rondekop vineyards. Planted in 1989 these vineyards are north and north-west-facing with granitic, hutton and Clovelly soils. The cabernet sauvignon clone is CS46a, a classic French clone, and the merlot is from an Italian clone, merlot 12, grafted on Richter 110 rootstock
