Vergelegen GVB White 2015 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R800
‘This Bordeaux-style Stellenbosch white really does stand up against its Gallic rivals. It has a stony, mineral nose with hints of citrus and grass, while the palate is full, very waxy in texture and slightly astringent. Piercing acidity carries the salinity through to the finish. This has a long life ahead of it. 2019-2032’ – James Button, Decanter, 93/100
‘An enticing nose with notes of blossom and herbs before white peach and black currant plus some spice. The palate is rich but beautifully balanced – lovely fruit definition and more freshness than you might expect for a wine with an alcohol of 14.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100
‘Baked characters on the nose with loads of sweet fruit on the palate. Despite the ripeness and sweetness, there is an undercurrent of freshness with acidity and a fine line of tannin. Concentrated, a high-class wine just reaching its peak. 2021-2025’ – Andy Howard MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20
