Nestled at the foot of the dramatic Helderberg Mountain, Stellenbosch is one of the most respected South African wine regions and also one of the most spectacular. Vergelegen, with lush vineyards, elegant homestead and sprawling yellowwood trees, comes close to not just visual perfection but technical perfection too.
