Our winemaker, Luke O’Cuinneagain, has released his first vintage at Vergelegen Estate: the 2023 Premium Sauvignon Blanc! Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Pure, vibrant aromas of lime blossom, gooseberry, ripe guava, fresh passion fruit, and pineapple. Shows amazing elegance, balancing perfect acidity with ripe fruit.

A delightful aperitif, this wine is perfect with tapas dishes, salads, sushi and seafood.

VINIFICATION

Grapes from the selected vineyards were hand harvested at peak ripeness and transported to the Vergelegen cellar in wooden bins. Parcels were selected and these parcels could be individual rows or fractions of blocks, and everything was vinified separately. This means some parcels were barrel, wooden tank, cement tank, stainless steel tank or stainless barrel fermented.
