About this Item
With a history dating back over 300 years, Vergelegen has kept a simple winemaking philosophy this entire time, ‘there must be harmony between the old and the new’. 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.
Only the Rondekop vineyards were used for the production of this ‘Great Vergelegen Blend’.
Critics Ratings
'75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc; all aged in 100% new French oak for two years. Knockout nose combines cassis, black raspberry, mocha and cedar. Plush, super concentrated, broad and sweet; an utterly silky, seamless wine with outstanding depth of texture. Finishes with huge but utterly suave tannins and superb length.’ Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, 92/100
