Production Details The grapes were selected from Vergelegen's Rooiland and Stonepine vineyards. Vines were planted 4,000 to the hectare. The Cabernet was fermented in open and closed tanks at high temperatures (28-32°C) and pumped over every 6 hours to maximize colour and tannin extraction. The wine spent 16 months in barrel. Accessible now but will reward further maturation in bottle.
