The Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has an incredibly deep complexity. Blackcurrants, spices, ripe plums and pleasant wood tones distinguish it. It is full-bodied and lush with ripe tannins that lead to a long and smooth finish. An absolute top Cabernet Sauvignon!

Treatment in the cellar

Fermentation took place in open tanks at high temperatures between 28°C and 32°C, with the cap being submerged every 6 hours to maximise extraction of colour and tannins. The wine remained in contact with the mash for the same reason before being pressed. It then matured for 17 months in 225 l barriques of 40% new French oak (Taransaud & Darnajou).
