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

VERGELEGEN WHITE 2001

The wine exhibits a pale yellow green colour with a nose reminiscent of freshly squeezed lime juice. On the palate the wine is elegant and refined with mineral overtones and a flinty core dominated by black truffle.
