Description
The Vergelegen estate in Stellenbosch founded on 1 February 1700 (meaning “situated far away”), blends rich heritage, beauty and sustainability with vision and innovation. It has been under the ownership of some of the world’s great explorers and visionaries, each of whom, in their own way, have helped shape Vergelegen to what it is today: a world-class Estate.
Cabernet vineyards are the most prolific on the farm and range in altitude. With various sites and soil types to work with, the aim is in expressing the Hutton and Oakleaf soils in the wine. This wine was grown in deep red soils of ancient origin, showcasing the terroir of the property. Complex with blackcurrants, spice, ripe plums and notes of plush leather and oak. Promising excellent ageing ability, but equally as delicious when youthful.
