Description
THIS IS A SPECIAL ORDER ITEM WITH LIMITED AVAILABILITY – PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE TO CHECK STOCK BEFORE ORDERING
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 13% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc. The 2022 V is pure and fresh with notes of spice, dark chocolate and cedar wood. Although vibrant
in youth, it will benefit from further bottle maturation.
ORIGIN
The vineyard used for the production of V is Stone Pine IV. This vineyard consists of 2 adjacent units on the west to northwest facing inland slopes of Schaapenberg. It is relatively sheltered from the prevailing breezes coming off False Bay and therefore enjoys a slightly warmer but still predominantly maritime climate.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are hand picked and fermented 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 barrels for 16 months, followed by 24 months in bottle before release.
Serve with roasted meats or decadent stews. Enjoy over the next 20 years.
ABV 14.5%
