The Vergelegen DNA Reserve is like a compote of berry fruit, masterfully combined and rounded off with aromas of chocolate and coffee. On the palate it is smooth with perfectly balanced tannins with a long lasting finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were picked by hand and destemmed but not crushed. First they were cooled down to 8°C and soaked cold for 168 hours. Fermentation took place at 26°C. After 28 days of maceration and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matured in new French oak barrels for 16 months.
