VergenoegdCase of Terrance Bay 2015 (R83 per Bottle, 6 Bottles)

About

This wine is from Vergenoegd’s Wine Estate Classic Range

Not too long ago – geologically speaking – Vergenoegd was covered by sea, and as the sea receded it left behind a terrace bed rich in maritime fossils, minerals and salts. Our vineyards, barely nine meters above sea level today, reflect this unique situation, and lying only 3 km from the False Bay coast, benefits from the prevailing cooling breezes. The Terrace Bay, crafted from blending the cultivars of grapes grown in this terroir, expresses itself as a full bodied, rich and complex wine, slightly earlier accessible than the rest of our wines, yet still uniquely Vergenoegd!

The wines of Vergenoegd are crafted with the lover of fine foods and great wines in mind.  Appropriately Vergenoegd means "Satisfaction achieved".

Nose

Fresh, opulent red fruits jumping out of the glass, followed by some spicy tones.  A tinge of cedar and lead pencil, rounded off by a slight hint of mintiness and a very subtle perfume nose of violets

Palate

First entry indicates a good balance between acids, fruit and tannin.  Very complex young red fruits followed by some vanilla and spice.  Very structured with a pleasant finish of fruit and soft tannins.

Chill slightly before drinking.

Colour

Deepest ruby red with a tinge of vermillion on the edge

Wood Regime

No barrel ageing. Wine was aged in tanks with French wooden staves, but this wine shows that it can possibly still age for another 3 – 5 years to optimise drinking pleasure!
