ageing : Enjoy now and over the next 10 years.

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 : The Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the top of the Schaapenberg vineyards, the most extremely situated vineyards on the farm. These grapes offer incredible intensity and purity. The Semillon comes from the oldest vineyard blocks on the farm, situated on 2 sites, one with shale soil and one with alluvial soil.
about the harvest: Both Semillon and Sauvignon grapes were hand-picked.
in the cellar : The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were whole-bunch fermented. The Sauvignon Blanc was given skin contact prior to pressing. Post-pressing, the juice was taken to a combination of barrels and foudres for fermentation. Various ages of barrels were utilised and the wines spent 10 months in oak before careful blending to achieve a characterful wine.
