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 Reserve range showcase the estate’s terroir and varietal expressions. The beautiful illustration of the welcoming front gates at Vergelegen beckon visitors to the farm either in person or via the exploration of the wines.
This barrel-fermented Chardonnay is crafted from grapes grown on ancient granite soils. The wine unveils a lemony yellow-green hue and the character weaves together notes of zesty citrus, spice, delicate citrus blossoms and a hint of buttered toast.
