Petit Verdot 2019

Tasting notes:
This Petit Verdot has an intense black colour with a vibrant purple rim, The nose is deep and brooding, with black cherry on the nose and aromas of violets, printers’ ink, iodine, dried sage, and cassis. Tight and focused structure on the mid palate with a medium length finish.
Although Petit Verdot can be somewhat overwhelming as a single cultivar wine, the Zorgvliet wine is made in a style that respects elegance and balance.

Winemaking notes:
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 where they completed malolactic fermentation. The components were racked three times to enhance clarification and development.
Blending took place after 14 months aging, after which the composed blend was aged in barrel for another 4 months. The wine was bottled after a total of 22 months.

Barrel composition: 5% new - 225L French oak
