Flavour Profile
Few names command as much respect in the fine wine world as Vergelegen. Founded in 1700, this pioneering estate is firmly established among the Cape’s wine elite. Named a First Growth of South Africa by Tim Atkin MW, the wines famously overdeliver for the price – especially Vergelegen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to secure an older vintage of a Stellenbosch classic. This was the absolute standout in a recent tasting room lineup (which included much pricier wines). Classic cassis and graphite aromas with hallmark Vergelegen spice – singing with juicy black fruit, tobacco and cedar.
It drew plenty of comparisons to top-name Bordeaux, and not for the first time either. Vergelegen is renowned for its Bordeaux-rivalling quality, even beating the famous Bordeaux Premiers Crus in blind tastings! And like the best Bordeaux, this ages beautifully. So while the superb 2019 vintage is delicious now, it will continue to mature gracefully for years to come.
Enjoy it with your Sunday roast (give it an hour in a decanter to open up fully), or leave it alone for a decade. Sensational drinking whenever you choose to open it, this is one that Cabernet fans will not want to miss.
