mehrere Informationen

The Vergelegen Shiraz is a dark Shiraz of ruby red colour in the glass. It is characterised by aromas of juicy plums, fragrant violets, spices, chocolate, smoked peat and black berry fruit. Its ripe and soft tannins provide a well-balanced acidity and lead to a long, clean and fruit-dominated finish, its texture is incredibly soft and smooth. A Shiraz of gifted elegance!

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were picked by hand and cooled down to -20°C overnight. The following day they were sorted, destemmed and subjected to a 7-day swelling phase at temperatures between 8° and 10°C before the yeast was added. After fermentation, the wine rested for 35 days and then matured for 15 months in second and third barrels of 225 litres of oak.
