Vergelegen Premium Chardonnay 2020 is a refined and elegant white wine crafted entirely from estate-grown grapes across Rocklands, Rooiland, Slanghoek, and LSB vineyards. With careful vinification and delicate oak aging, it reflects both the estate’s heritage and the unique character of its terroir.
The wine shows a vibrant lemony yellow-green colour, with a complex nose of citrus, peach, tropical fruit, and mineral undertones. On the palate, it is full and long, beautifully balanced with subtle oak influence and a fresh, elegant finish.
