Producentens noter (engelsk): Tech sheet: PREMIUM SAUVIGNON BLANC 2002 Origin Selected from both Vergelegen’s own vineyards and vineyards in the Coastal Region. The Vergelegen vineyards are located on South or South-West facing slopes, ± 200 – 320 metres above sea level. The planting density is approximately 4000 v Vinification The fruit is picked when the desired flavours are showing at optimum. No skin contact is employed as we believe this technique leads to coarse wines. The juice is settled for at least 72 hours at low temperatures before inoculation with the desired yeast strain for Sauvignon grapes. To avoid conformity with other SA producers, we ferment at higher temperatures. This leads to fuller, bigger and more intensely flavoured wines. Composition 86 % Sauvignon Blanc 14 % Semillon Analysis 14.0 % Alc 3.1 g/l RS 7.1 g/l TA 3.09 pH Maturation Drink now or over the next two – three years Tasting Note Pale green colour.
