Verlegen
The Vergelegen wine estate is located on the South African coast of False Bay, less than an hour from Cape Town. Founded in 1700 by Adriann van der Stell, it is now owned by André van Rensburg. The estate's vines grow at altitudes between 140 and 310 meters, in clay soils. Clay soils are particularly well-suited for vine growth due to their water retention capacity. The climate in this region is characterized by mild temperatures thanks to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The Vergelegen wine estate cultivates grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Chardonnay for its wines.

Vergelegen from the heart of the Cape
Barely an hour from Cape Town, on clay soils between 140 and 310 meters above sea level: Vergelegen is one of South Africa's oldest wine estates. The cool influence of the Atlantic Ocean shapes varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc with a clear structure and freshness.
