Wine guide

Vergenoegd Löw: Where Tradition Meets Nature

The Estate & Terroir

Vergenoegd Löw is one of the oldest and most historic wine estates in the renowned Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa. The vineyards benefit from their proximity to False Bay, whose cool breezes ensure a slow and even ripening of the grapes. This maritime climate gives the wines their characteristic freshness and elegance. The estate is world-famous for its 'duck parade': a large flock of Indian Runner Ducks is used daily in the vineyards for natural pest control. This unique approach underscores a deep commitment to sustainability and respect for nature, which is reflected in every drop of wine.

Our Vergenoegd Löw collection offers you a fascinating insight into the diversity of its terroir. For red wines, you'll find classic varietals like the powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, the velvety Merlot, and the South African classic Pinotage, interpreted here as 'Margot'. The portfolio is complemented by the spicy 'Ottilie' Malbec and the complex 'Maximilian' Blend. The white wines impress with an elegant Chardonnay and a fresh Sauvignon Blanc. A special highlight is the Chenin Blanc Cap Classique, a sparkling wine made using the traditional method that exudes pure joie de vivre.

Food Pairing
