AWARDS
2024 Tim Atkin SA Special Report - 94 Points

ageing : Age for 10-15 years if you have the patience!


This bottle contains more than wine. It is a journey through time; through great exploration and innovation, rich heritage and distinct refinement. Vergelegen, meaning ‘situated far away’ is ‘here and now’ embracing the rhythm of nature.
in the vineyard : Sourced from all our red vineyard sites on the property – a true expression of Vergelegen’s brilliant vineyards.
about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness for each cultivar.
in the cellar : They underwent varied fermentation techniques and timings in stainless steel tanks according to each cultivar's characteristics. This was followed by maturation in combinations of barrel size and oak type (including the length of time spent in oak) after which the alchemic process of blending took place.
