Vergelegen's winemaking philosophy is simple : there must be harmony between the old and the new.

SEMILLON 1998

The wine shows an attractive light gold colour. Dried apricots or peaches and hints of pineapple shows on the nose. The taste is full but not cloyingly sweet and finishes almost on a dry note.
Serve well chilled (6-8 ?C) as a desert on its own with very good and intimate friends!
