Critics Ratings

Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon 1998:
‘87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc. Delicious vegetal and black cherry fruit, tannins are firm but integrated. Toned, smooth, shades of Médoc certainly showing. Charming, lifted, long and earthy.’ – Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jun 2012)

‘Red-ruby. Explosive aromas of black raspberry, tar, smoke, truffle and tobacco. Dense and sweet, with deep flavors of raspberry and spice. Very strong in extract and long on the aftertaste. This has a pH below 3.5 without acidification.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (Mar 2003)

The International Wine & Spirit Competition 2002 - Gold
The South African Trophy Wine Show 2002 - Gold
Veritas 2001 – Silver

Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon 1999:
'Bright ruby-red. Nuanced nose combines raspberry, blackcurrant, currant leaf and truffle. Round, open and sweet, with lovely texture and moderate grip. Tannins are ripe, but the wine developed a slight rawness as it opened in the glass.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Mar 2003)

Veritas 2001 - Silver
