Vergelegen's winemaking philosophy is simple : there must be harmony between the old and the new.

VIN DE FLORENCE 2004

Pale yellow-green colour. The nose is extremely attractive with hints of green apple, ripe tropical fruit, ginger, raisins and Muscat. The crisp acidity prevents the wine from becoming too sweet. Enjoy with Cape Malay or Chinese dishes, or with salad. Serve well-chilled at 10°C.

	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. The wine was bottled exclusively with Nomacorq to ensure no taint and ease of extraction.
