About this Item
White 2006
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Vergelegen’s white wines are produced from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grown on the estate’s cooler, south-facing slopes — the Sauvignon Blanc from the south-west facing Schaapenberg at 320 metres above sea level, and the Sémillon from the south-facing Korhaan vineyard at 220 metres. The vineyards are not irrigated. The 2006 vintage delivered wines of excellent freshness, mineral precision and aromatic vibrancy. Platter’s praised the blend as a ‘blue-chip’ expression promising complex evolution over 8 to 10 years.
