The Vergenoegd Cabernet Sauvignon flows into the glass in a dense ruby red colour, from which emanate classic Cabernet aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, black cherries, cigar box and fragrant vanilla. On the palate a real explosion of ripe berry fruit opens up, perfectly balanced by the well rounded and elegant tannins. The fresh, yet incredibly complex fruit nuances linger long after the last sip. A hint of smoky vanilla, rounded off by fine hints of fragrant cedar wood and pencil shavings, complete the pleasure experience. A truly elegant and multidimensional wine!

The grapes were picked by hand and transported in small baskets to the winery, where they were first completely destemmed and lightly crushed. Fermentation was started in stainless steel tanks with the addition of selected yeast strands. Once the wine was dry, it was transferred to the press, where the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation was completed back in the tank. Only the very best tanks were then placed in 300l oak barrels (French, Hungarian and Slovenian oak) for 12 months for aging, 50% of which were new and the remainder previously used. Some wines matured in tanks with the addition of French oak staves.
