Vergelegen Reserve Chardonnay

Discover Vergelegen Reserve Chardonnay 750ml Vergelegen Reserve Chardonnay 750ml is an estate grown white from Vergelegen in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It is a barrel matured Chardonnay with citrus, white peach and a toasty edge, made for drinkers who like a white with some depth. Product Overview Vergelegen is one of the Cape’s best known wine estates, and the Reserve range sits above its everyday bottles. The Chardonnay is made from grapes grown on the estate and has a long, elegant palate with a lively mineral thread, so it is rich without feeling heavy. Tasting Notes Aroma Citrus and citrus blossom, white peach, pineapple and apricot, with spice and buttered toast from the oak. Palate Long and elegant, with a lively minerality. Production & Craftsmanship According to the producer’s sheet for the 2019 vintage, the grapes came from the estate’s own vineyards. About 30% of the wine was aged in new French oak and the rest in second and third fill barrels, with 8 months on the lees. Only a third of the barrels went through malolactic fermentation, which keeps the acidity fresh. Tasting notes can change a little between vintages, so check the label for the year of your bottle. Serving Suggestions Serve lightly chilled rather than ice cold, so the oak and fruit show properly. A large white wine glass helps. Food Pairings Pair it with roast chicken, grilled fish, creamy pasta or mild cheeses. It also suits dishes with butter or cream sauces.
