Vergelegen Wines : Current Vintages

	VIN DE FLORENCE 2008
	Pale yellow-green colour. The nose is extremely attractive with hints of green apples, ripe tropical fruit, ginger, raisins and Muscat. The crisp acidity prevents the wine from becoming too sweet.
	Origin
	Grapes were selected from premium coastal vineyards in the cooler microclimates of the Western Cape.
	Vinification
	Everything possible is done to preserve the natural fruit flavours of the different varietals. Fermentation tanks, stabilisation tanks and bottling tanks are inerted to 1% oxygen in order to minimise oxidation and the associated loss in fruit flavour. Lees contact was extended to three months on the Chenin Blanc to help increase mouth-feel. The Hanepoot in the blend was replaced by white Muscadel to enhance elegance, finesse and subtlety.
