About this Item

2013 Straw Wine
3 (1 x 3) 375ml

With a history dating back over 300 years, Vergelegen has kept a simple winemaking philosophy this entire time, ‘there must be harmony between the old and the new’. Having produced fine, modern wines for two decades, Vergelegen is one of South Africa’s highest regarded, established producers. Situated on the Schaapenberg in Somerset West, overlooking False Bay. The 3,000 hectare estate is situated in one of the richest floral regions of the world and they practice sustainable farming and have various environmental projects.

Straw wine, also known as vin de paille, is made from grapes that are dried on straw mats or racks to concentrate their sugars and flavors before fermentation. This method results in a richly sweet and complex wine.
