Vergelegen DNA (2017)
New
DNA is a Cabernet Franc dominant blend from the Vergelegen estate. The grapes were selected from the estates Kopland and Rooiland vineyards. The Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend has berry fruit and chocolate notes and shows a serious tannin structure and intensity but has soft round features that linger on the palate

The grapes were all selected from Vergelegen’s Rooiland vineyards, planted on the north to north-westerly slopes and 100% virus free, including the world’s oldest virus free vineyard that was planted in 1999.
Grapes were hand-picked and de-stemmed, and circa 15% stems were added back to the fermentation vessels. The de-stemmed grapes were cooled to 8°C and ‘cold soaked’ for 24 hours. Fermentation took place at 26°C followed by a 21-day maceration on the skins. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine went into 25% new French oak barrels for 15 months. The wine was bottled on the 13th of September 2019 after 16 months in the barrels.
