Story
Vergelegen was founded by Willem Adriaan van der Stel , who replaced his father as the Cape governor in 1699. It was visited by the British Queen Elizabeth II in the mid-1990s.
Critics such as Tim Atkin and Robert Parker regularly give the winery the highest ratings. The word "vergelegen" means "far away". However, the isolated location on fertile soil offers ideal growing conditions. Vergelegen winery is also committed to animal welfare and sustainability.
Tasting Notes
With the potential to age for another 10 years from it’s vintage, this cabernet sauvignon is rich with a lot of depth. Pair this elegant and full-bodied wine with the aria "Di Provenza il mar" from Verdi's La Traviata. Sung by the character Giorgio Germont, this aria conveys deep emotion and warmth, much like the wine's velvety texture and rich notes of blackcurrants, ripe plums, and spices. The delicate woody and spicy nuances of the wine complement the heartfelt, reflective tone of the aria, making for a refined and harmonious pairing.
Food Pairing
Decant the Vergelegen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and serve it alongside succulent spare ribs or perfectly grilled lamb chops for an indulgent dining experience. A Rich and strong cheese such as gruyere gives depth to this indulgent red.
Wine Makers Note
After fermentation in open and closed tanks, the Vergelegen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon spent 17 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which were new.
Delivery 3-7 working days
