Zorgvliet Silver Myn Argentumis a blend from the Bordelaise specialists of Banghoek Valley. It is brim full of ripe, bramble and plummy fruit with dark curranty corners.
East and north-south facing rows on alluvial soil at an altitude of 260m and approximately 10k from the sea. The average age of the vines are 10-11 years old. The blend is lovingly crafted from Merlot 50%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Cabernet Franc 11% and Petit Verdot 1%. Grapes were harvested by hand and berry sorted into stainless steel fermenters. Fermentation commenced spontaneously and was finished with a pure strain. Extraction was done with a combination of punch-down, rack-and-return and pump-over methods. Batches were gently pressed and immediately racked to small French oak barrels and 4500L oak "foudre" where they completed malolactic fermentation. The components were racked three times to clarify and develop the wines. Blending took place after 12 months aging.
