Vergelegen Estate Red 2022

This pioneering red blend reflects the micro-climate and terroir of Vergelegen. Sourced and hand-selected from our warmer north and north-west-facing vineyards which produce succulent fruit and ripe tannins. Cassis, pencil shavings and spice dominate the nose and palate.

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.
