Vergelegen V 2018

The Vergelegen V represents the pinnacle of winemaking at the renowned  Somerset West estate, and has been acclaimed since the winery’s maiden 2001 V blend was introduced to the market in June 2005. This meticulously crafted blend has also played a central role in the South African winemaking sector’s long-standing campaign for the country to gain global recognition as a producer of great wines. Vergelegen V has consistently been acclaimed in blind tastings of top Bordeaux blends from around the world.

The 2018 vintage – 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot –  is pure and fresh with notes of spice, dark chocolate and cedarwood. Vibrant in youth, it benefits from further bottle maturation of up to 20 years.
