A total of 34132 bottles were produced. It is the last of the trio of truly magnificent/great vintages.
Vergelegen is indeed a fascinating estate with a rich history! It's not just a winery, but a cultural and historical landmark in South Africa. The estate's origins date back to 1700 when it was first established by Willem Adriaan van der Stel, a Dutch colonial governor. Its location, nestled between the Lourens River and the Hottentots Holland Mountains, makes it a picturesque place with a diverse range of landscapes.
The estate's longevity and success in winemaking are truly impressive, This is reflected by the fact its wines have earned more than 200 local and international awards since 1999 including the coveted Château Pichon Longueville.
