VERGELEGEN AWARDS
Since 1999, Vergelegen Estate and its wines have earned more than 200 awards.
Stephen Tanzer, editor and publisher of the critically acclaimed International Wine Cellar, samples more than 10,000 wines annually and his independent journal, translated into French and Japanese, is read by wine lovers in 28 countries.Tanzer requested a range of eleven red and white wines from Vergelegen, and – based on the US 100 point scoring system – Tanzer awarded eight of the wines a score of at least 90 points.
The 2009 Estate White Blend, the largest-scaled and most sophisticated of Vergelegen’s white wines, received a score of 94+ points. And the 2004 Estate Premium Red Wine received 94 points.
"It is an incredible accolade to receive such a consistently high rating across a wide range of wine,” says Vergelegen MD Don Tooth. "This is an important milestone in recognising South Africa as a leading performer in the notoriously competitive top league of world wines.”
