Product information "Vergelegen G.V.B. White 2018"
Of a pale green colour in the glass, Vergegelen G.V.B White flows into the glass and exudes the scent of lush spicy fruit and fine grassy aromas. This highly doped Bordeaux-style white wine cuvée, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, is rich and complex with stunning balance and grace, as well as power and remarkable purity. A masterly drop!

Both Semillon and Sauvignon were hand-picked, pressed all over the bunch and fermented in barrels. The Semillon fermented 25% in new Francois Frere oak barrels and the Sauvignon Blanc in old barrels with a capacity of 500 litres per barrel. After fermentation, both wines matured in barrels for 9 months before being bottled blended.
