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.
The Estate White is the flagship white wine of Vergelegen. A blend of Sauvignon and Semillon, the Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the top of the Schaapenberg vineyards, the most extremely situated vineyards on the farm. The Semillon comes from the oldest vineyard blocks on the farm, situated on 2 sites, one with shale soil and one with alluvial soil. Elegant and refined with mineral overtones, and a flinty core dominated by notes of lemon, crushed rosemary and fresh apple. The blend is 56% Sauvignon Blanc & 44% Semillon.
