Vergelegen Premium Sauvignon Blanc

Vergelegen Premium Sauvignon Blanc

Vergelegen Estate Premium Sauvignon Blanc wine is an exceptional South African vintage. This wine boasts of a light, crystal clear colour with a verdant tinge. A blend of strawberries, gooseberries, and green pepper is distinct in its aroma, providing a truly invigorating experience. The palate is lively and fresh, with a beautifully balanced acidity and a distinct mineral tone. In each sip, there’s an explosion of enticing flavours, leading to a deliriously long finish. An ideal companion for seafood or a standalone refreshment, this Sauvignon Blanc gives a tasteful testament to Vergelegen Estate’s winemaking prowess.

Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Pure, vibrant aromas of lime blossom, gooseberry, ripe guava, fresh passion fruit, white pepper and quince. Shows amazing elegance, balancing perfect acidity with ripe fruit

The climate at Vergelegen is mild due to its close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean at False Bay some six kilometres away which places the farm within the lower Region 3 according to the ‘degree days’ temperature classification. Vineyard sites range in altitude between 140m and 310m above sea level, with slopes facing north to north-west, and south to south-east.

Vergelegen was the first producer to be awarded BWI ‘Champion’ status in March 2005, having made remarkable progress with its large-scale alien clearing and fire management programme to restore 2240 hectares of their 3000 hectare Estate.

The Vergelegen winery is unlike any previously designed in South Africa, epitomising the property’s maxim: Ex Africa semper aliquid novi (Out of Africa always something new). Situated high up on a hilltop, only the top level of the multi-levelled structure is visible. With its octagonal shape mirroring the design of the historic homestead’s walled garden, originally laid out by 18th-century founder WA van der Stel, the visitor’s viewing deck and roof garden offers a 360º view of the estate, with the towering Hottentots Holland mountain peaks behind, the town of Somerset West below, the Atlantic Ocean beyond and in the distance, Table Mountain.
