Zorgvliet Vintage 2020 Estate Wine Glenfiddich this Glenmorangie was initially matured

this Glenmorangie was initially matured in American oak casks for at least 12 years

It’s being talked up as being able to last for decades and I think it will but not because of any massive structure but rather how pure and harmonious it is

reflecting Bruichladdich's sustainability strategy to use less and use better

with the desire to develop its full potential

Zorgvliet Vintage 2020 Estate Wine Glenfiddich this Glenmorangie was initially maturedIf 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
