Producentens noter (engelsk): Tech sheet: PREMIUM SAUVIGNON BLANC 2011 Origin The grapes for this premium Sauvignon Blanc were all from Vergelegen’s own vineyards and harvested over a two-week period starting mid-February. Harvesting commenced slightly earlier than in 2010 and for the first time in its history, Vergelegen had a six-day per week in-take, ensuring that grapes always came into the cellar at peak ripeness. Vinification Grapes from the selected vineyards were hand-harvested at peak ripeness and transported to the Vergelegen cellar in wooden bins. After de-stemming and crushing, the grapes were pressed under anaerobic conditions to prevent oxygen pick up and loss of aroma potential. The juice was then settled at low temperatures with the assistance of pectolytic enzymes. Fermentation took place at 14-16ºC and lasted between 2-3 weeks, after which cold and protein stabilization followed. Composition 100% Sauvignon Blanc Analysis 13.56% Alc 2.3g/l RS 6.9g/l TA 3.22 pH Maturation Drink now or over the next two to three years.
