Producentens noter (engelsk): Tech sheet: VERGELEGEN G.V.B. WHITE 2002 Origin The Sauvignon Blanc comes from the South West facing slopes on the Schaapenberg at 320 metres above sea level and the Semillon from the South facing slopes of the Korhaan vineyard at 220 metres above sea level. The vineyards are not irrigated. Vinification Both the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon was whole bunch pressed and then fermented and matured in new French oak Burgundy barrels for 10 months ( Francois Frere, Gargaud & Jaegle). The philosophy behind the white Vergelegen is to produce a wine that reflects both the unique microclimate and terroir as well as the elegance and beauty of the estate. Composition 67 % Semillon 33 % Sauvignon Blanc Analysis 15 % Alc 2.5 g/l RS 6.9 g/l TA 3.04 pH Maturation Drink now and over the next 2-3 years. Tasting Note The wine exhibits a pale yellow green colour with a nose reminiscent of freshly squeezed lime juice. On the palate the wine is elegant and refined with mineral overtones and a flinty core dominated by black truffle.
