Vergelegen V 2018

The Vergelegen V represents the pinnacle of winemaking at the renowned  Somerset West estate, and has been acclaimed since the winery’s maiden 2001 V blend was introduced to the market in June 2005. This meticulously crafted blend has also played a central role in the South African winemaking sector’s long-standing campaign for the country to gain global recognition as a producer of great wines. Vergelegen V has consistently been acclaimed in blind tastings of top Bordeaux blends from around the world.

The 2018 vintage – 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot –  is pure and fresh with notes of spice, dark chocolate and cedarwood. Vibrant in youth, it benefits from further bottle maturation of up to 20 years.

Grapes are hand-picked, sorted in the vineyard and again at the cellar door to ensure optimal ripeness and the purest varietal expression. After initial fermentation in closed tanks at temperatures of 28-30°C, the young wine receives a post-fermentation maceration of 28 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in new French oak.

The V is matured in French oak barrels for 16 months to achieve a fine balance between fruit character and oak maturation, revealing the distinctiveness of the Vergelegen terroir. The wine matures for  24 months in bottle before release.

This 2018 release, of 600 cases,  marks the final edition of V in its familiar labelling. To mark the occasion, each collection of six bottles is presented in a handcrafted wooden crate, making a purchase an ideal addition to any wine collection.
