Vergelegen Vin de Florence 2009

Pale yellow-green colour. The nose is extremely attractive with hints of green apples, ripe tropical fruit, white flowers and spice. The crisp acidity prevents the wine from becoming too sweet. Enjoy with Cape Malay, Chinese or salads. Serve well chilled at 10°C.

in the vineyard : Grapes were selected from premium coastal vineyards in the cooler micro climates of the Western Cape.

Everything possible is done to preserve the natural fruit flavours of the different varietals.

in the cellar : 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. Hanepoot from 35 year old vines were included in final blend to add extra complexity to the Sauvignon and Chenin flavours.
