Chardonnay - Vergelegen

In the glass, the Chardonnay from Vergelegen presents a bright golden yellow color. Poured into a white wine goblet, this white wine from South Africa offers wonderfully expressive aromas of physalis, Gallia melon, lemongrass and orange, rounded off by sun-warmed rocks, toasted barrique and oriental spices contributed by the barrel aging.

The Vergelegen Chardonnay presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine enthusiast. This white wine never appears coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine in the high quality wine range. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Chardonnay flatters the palate with a soft feeling, without lacking juicy liveliness. On the finish, this youthful from the Coastal wine region finally delights with beautiful length. Hints of pink grapefruit and pomelo are again evident.
