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

CHARDONNAY RESERVE 2003

The wine shows an attractive lemony yellow-green colour with a complex nose of citrus, vanilla, butterscotch, tropical fruit and mineral tones. On the palate the taste is long and full with no excessive wooding. Complex, powerful yet still elegant.
