Vergelegen Chardonnay Reserve

The wines of Vergelegen bear the signature of André van Rensburg, arguably South Africa's most controversial winemaker. Not regarding the quality of his wines; rather, his statements are controversial, often leaving no room for differing opinions. There is an artist at work here, a perfectionist. And so his wines are characterized by finesse and structure, paired with fruit and accessibility - briefly called "The Third Way". They are character wines whose qualities are often unmatched or simply "vergelegen" - far away.

Pale green-gold in color, this single-varietal Vergelegen Chardonnay presents itself in the glass. It reveals slightly smoky notes as well as intense aromas of lemons and ripe fruits and convinces with its skillful balance between elegant fruit and well-integrated wood.

The Winery

Vergelegen

The winery Vergelegen is located on the South African False Bay and is less than an hour from the city of Cape Town. It was founded in the year 1700 by Adriaan van der Stel and is today owned by André van Rensburg. The vines of the winery grow at an altitude between 140 and 310 meters, on clayey soils.

Clay soils are particularly well-suited for the growth of vines due to their ability to absorb water. The climate in this region is characterized by mild temperatures thanks to the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.

For the production of the wines of the Vergelegen winery, grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, or Chardonnay are grown.
