Zorgvliet Vintage 2020 Estate Wine

If 2019 was generally a vintage of restraint for Stellenbosch reds, then the wines from 2020 seem that more luscious and open. The 2019 from Zorgvliet, for instance, had an alcohol 14.19% and presented as rich but not short of freshness. The 2020 comes in at 14.7% and includes 2.5% Merlot and 2.5% Petit Verdot. Attractive aromatics of dark berries, violets some leafiness, violets, vanilla and pencil shavings while the palate is round and plush – concentrated fruit and smooth tannins make this a wine that will please many.
