Having produced fine, modern wines for two decades, Vergelegen is one of South Africa’s highest regarded, established producers. Situated on the Schaapenberg in Somerset West, overlooking False Bay. The 3,000 hectare estate is situated in one of the richest floral regions of the world and they practice sustainable farming and have various environmental projects.

Critics Ratings

‘Pioneering and still stand-out Semillon-Sauvignon blend, with some barrel fermentation/ageing. Unlike introverted 2009 (65% Sauvignon Blanc), 2010 has 59% Semillon. Reminiscent of Graves (Bordeaux), flint overlain with white peach, delicate ‘wet stone’ minerality.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5*
