VERGELEGEN V1700 (2015)

V1700

2015 was a super vintage, one of the best in a career that spans 30 years. We adopted the process of hand picking the best bunches off the Vineyard, then hand picking the very best grapes off each bunch, all to produce the finest wine the Estate could offer. The ripeness on 2015 wines is perfect and again simulates the mechanism of a fine watch. Nothing is out of place or over the top. This is not First Growth Bordeaux, this is Vergelegen V1700, timeless, effortless and incomparable.

Complex with dark fruit, spice and cedar wood. The wine has soft and elegant tannins and a very long aftertaste.

Enjoy with almost any red meat, especially served rare to medium rare. A beautifully marbled steak, slow braised beef or venison are always going to be a firm flavor match with this extraordinary wine! 

Composition: Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 78% Merlot 10% Cabernet Franc 10% Petit Verdot 2%

Can be enjoyed on release and will ‘cellar’ for the next 20+ years. 

 

VERGELEGEN V (2015)

One of the great ‘icon’ red wines from South Africa. A 100% Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot blend. The nose is complex, showing blackcurrants, red cherries, cedar wood, graphite and cigar box aromas. These develop in the glass and are joined by raspberry, black cherry, spice and a hint of gaminess. On the palate the wine is concentrated but elegant, with fine-grained tannins. These tannins soften even further in the glass, resulting in a luxurious wine with a long aftertaste.

Enjoy with almost any red meat, especially served rare to medium rare.A beautifully marbled steak, slow braised beef or venison are always going to be firm flavor match’s with this extraordinary wine! 

Composition: Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 80% Merlot 10% Cabernet Franc 10%

VERGELEGEN GVB RED (2015)

A classic Bordeaux blend this wine shows a rich ruby color with almost opaque center. Cassis, graphite, spice and red berries abound on the nose. The delicate fruit, tannin structure and fine acidity indicate a wine of balance and finesse reflective of the Vergelegen terroir.
A match made in heaven with game dishes, southern barbecue or beef fillet.


Composition:
Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 78% Merlot 11% Cabernet Franc 11%

Enjoy on release and over the 10-15 years.

 

VERGELEGEN GVB WHITE (2019)

 

Using the classic varietals of Vergelegen Estate, Sémillon, and Sauvignon Blanc this wine is pale yellow-green color with a nose reminiscent of freshly squeezed lime juice. On the palate its tight, focused and beautifully integrated with herbal (fynbos), grapefruit flavors, ripe tropical notes, and a long, focused aftertaste. Probably one of our best vintages ever and without a doubt one of the great white wines of the world. Total production amounts to 2643 standard bottles. Stock piling is recommended!!

Most enjoyable with oysters, lobster, chicken, and fish dishes.

Composition: Estate Sémillon 34% Sauvignon Blanc 66%

Enjoy on release over the next 5-7 years.

 

VERGELEGEN CHARDONNAY RESERVE (2019)

The wine shows an attractive lemony yellow-green color with a complex nose of citrus, white peach, pineapple, spice, citrus blossoms, apricot and buttered toast aromas. The taste is long and elegant with a lively minerality.

The laser-bright acidity means you can drink it on its own, or pair it with grilled shrimp, scallops, crab gratin – or chicken (anything from roast to salads) or cheesy/creamy/lemony pasta dishes.

Composition: 100 % Estate Chardonnay.

Enjoy on release and over the next 5-7 years.

 

VERGELEGEN MMV BRUT (2016)

 

You will enjoy a lovely fine mousse with a hint of toast, citrus, spice and baked apples. Long, lingering and refreshing aftertaste.

The MMV Brut pairs really well with oysters, shellfish, crab, lobster

VERGELEGEN FLORENCE ROSÉ (2022)
