Product Notes

Vergelegen Estate White Wine is a tantalising South African delight. This exuberant blend offers a harmonious fusion, typically merging chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and semillon. This wine exhibits a radiant goldish hue, giving way to aromatic hints of tropical fruit, accented by whispers of honey and vanilla. Taking a sip, the palate is gently caressed by flavours of ripe peach, balanced beautifully with a robust minerality and a refreshing acidity. Its exquisite complexity is indicative of its meticulous ageing regimen. The finish is elegant, demonstrating the refined finesse of the Vergelegen Estate's exceptional winemaking pedigree. A quintessential white wine.
