Description
In a nutshell:
A classy, elegant Stellenbosch Chardonnay with just the right touch of oak - balancing ripe citrus and stone fruit with a smooth, refined finish.
The lowdown:
They might be best known for their reds, but this Chardonnay shows Vergelegen's whites are just as impressive. It's all about balance - vibrant stone fruits, a creamy butterscotch touch, and just enough oak to add depth without overpowering. Fermented and aged on lees, it's smooth, fresh, and full of character, with a lovely long finish. Elegant, complex, and downright tasty.
The Producer:
Vergelegen is one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa with a history dating back as far as the early 1700s. Theyve always been an important landmark but the modern era for them really began in the late 1980s following its acquisition by the global mining group Anglo American. They invested millions in surveying the land and extensive planting of new vineyards in the best sites and in 1992 they opened a truly impressive part sunken four level winery was opened which, using gravity, minimises the use of machinery. Currently headed up by Luke O'Cuinneagain who took over the reins from legendary André van Rensburg in 2022 Vergelegen is an instance where the financial strength of a large conglomerate and the skill of excellent winemakers has had yielded wonderful results.
When to drink:
Brilliant with roast chicken, creamy pork dishes, or pan-fried fish - its balance of freshness and richness works a treat. And with the structure to age, it'll last well into the decade.
Suitable for Vegans
