Grown on Vergelegen’s north-to-northwest facing Rooiland vineyards, including a rare, virus-free block planted in 1999, this Shiraz reflects the vineyard’s pristine conditions. Hand-harvested and partially whole-cluster fermented, it spent 16 months in 25% new French oak barrels, adding depth and structure to this final release in a trilogy of exceptional vintages.
