WINES
Vergelegen's winemaking philosophy is simple : there must be harmony between the old and the new.
VERGELEGEN V 2007
The nose is complex, showing blackcurrants, 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.

Origin
|
| |
The vineyard used for the production of the V is Stone Pine IV. This vineyard consists of 2 adjacent units on the west to northwest facing inland slopes of Schaapenberg. It is relatively sheltered from the prevailing breezes coming off False Bay and therefore enjoys a slightly warmer but still predominantly maritime climate. The 2 units are planted on Hutton and Glenrosa soils and are both well drained and slightly limiting on vigour, but still offer a good buffer capacity supporting the vines in adverse climatic conditions. This combination of soil, climate and site ensures full ripening of the fruit without excessively high sugar levels.

Vinification
|
| |
The grapes are hand picked and fermented in closed tanks at temperatures of 28-30°C. The young wine receives a post fermentation maceration of 28 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in new French oak. On completion of the malolactic fermentation the wine is again racked into 100% new French oak. The V is matured in oak for nearly 16 months, followed by 24 months in bottle before release. Bottled on 14 AUGUST 2008.
