FLAGSHIP RANGE
Vergelegen‟s philosophy for the flagship range is manifested in the holistic pursuit of wines that are an expression of terroir. Following two decades of vineyard development and viticulture refinements, the team have been able to identify the individual vineyards and varietals that best express this great estate.
As a reflection of the very essence of the property, these wines are simply named Vergelegen.

Vergelegen "V” 2004 / 2005 / 2006 (John Platter *****)
The Vergelegen „V‟ is the validation of Vergelegen‟s striving to produce a wine that can stand on an equal footing with the most prestigious in the world. „V‟ is the final result of successfully combining the synergies between the vineyards, the winery, the vitality of the people who toil in both, and the talents of a dedicated and passionate wine maker.
The nose is complex, showing black currents, cedar wood, lead pencil and cigar box aromas. These develop in the glass and are joined by raspberry, black cherry, spice and a hint of gaminess. On the palate the wine is concentrated but elegant, with fine-grained tannins. These tannins soften even further in the glass, resulting in a luxurious wine with a long after taste.
