What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Vergelegen Estate White 2023 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2023 white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Typical grape profile: Sauvignon Blanc — Zesty citrus, gooseberry, cut grass; often unoaked and refreshing; Semillon — Waxy, honeyed and lanolin-like young; capable of legendary sweet wines (Sauternes) with noble rot. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.

Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
The flagship white of Vergelegen, this blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon reflects the estate’s most prized vineyard sites. The Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the windswept slopes of the Schaapenberg, while the Semillon comes from the farm’s oldest vineyard blocks, rooted in shale and alluvial soils.
Winemaking
Hand-picked and carefully sorted, the grapes were whole-bunch pressed and fermented in a mix of barrels and foudres. The Sauvignon Blanc component received skin contact prior to pressing, while both varieties underwent partial malolactic fermentation. After 10 months in oak of varying ages, the final blend was assembled to create a wine of depth, elegance and precision.
Tasting Notes
Elegant and refined with mineral overtones and a flinty core, lifted by bright lemon, crushed rosemary and crisp apple. Complex and structured, with a long, polished finish. Blend 56% Sauvignon Blanc, 44% Semillon Food Pairing Excellent with grilled seafood, herb-crusted chicken or creamy risotto.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
