BLEND 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 9% Merlot and 7% Malbec VINEYARDS The grapes are always sourced from the Rondekop Vineyards grown at 200 – 220 meters above sea level. These vineyards are extremely wind exposed and this leads to thick skinned berries that deliver very concentrated juice. SOILS Predominantly Glenrosa (Lithic group) soil forms VINIFICATION Working with concentrated fruit from low- yielding vineyards (3- 4 tons/ha), care was taken not to produce over-extracted wines. The juice was fermented with local yeasts and macerated for 5 weeks. Maturation took place in 100% new 225l Sylvain and Taransaud French oak barrels with at least three rackings over a 24 month period. PAIRINGS Enjoy this wine with roast duck, lightly grilled steak or stews. AGING Cellar for up to 8 years. TECH Alcohol - 14% RS - 4.2 g/l PH - 3.68 TA - 5.8 www.vergelegen.co.za
