This masterful Vergelegen V combines complex aromas of black currants, cedar wood, blackberries, and exotic spices. With an aging of 18 months in new French barriques and an additional 48 months in the bottle, the wine presents itself in full diversity and smoothness.
The black currants give the wine an enticing freshness, while the cedar wood adds a subtle, elegant structure. The aromas of blackberries provide an alluring sweetness that harmonizes wonderfully with the exotic spices, giving the blend a mysterious touch.
In the glass, the blend reveals itself in a deep, enticing red and unveils a fascinating complexity that caresses the senses. The 18-month aging in French barriques adds additional refinement and depth to the wine, while the further bottle aging of 48 months unfolds its characteristics to full perfection.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
