    Great wine!

    Not often I think a wine's really gorgeous in a simple, clean-cut kind of way, but this was just a pleasure to drink. It may not be the most complex, challenging or 'arty' drink but it seemed superb at the price and it was a joy to drink from start to end. Rich dark fruit flavours, incredible smoothness, no harsh edges and a real silky, almost velvety texture. Favourite wine in a good while!

    Always a pleasure to drink and goes down extremely well. A bargain at the discounted price.

    Absolutely delicious!

    A full-bodied, rich, satisfying flavour. I served this at dinner with 8 friends last night; we enjoyed 2 bottles, then I served another more expensive wine; they all asked for more of this one!

    Balanced Bargain

    A beautifully balanced red; perfect for these wintery evenings. Superb value for money.

Press Reviews

  • Impressed by this red (2009)

    "One of South Africa's most respected names (and, if you have trouble with those phlegmy Afrikaans consonants, one of the most difficult to pronounce). Vergelegen's standout wines are its GVB white blend and the red V, but I was impressed by this red, on offer at Majestic. Inspired by the chunkier end of red Bordeaux, it has meaty blackcurranty fruit seasoned with a fragrant leafiness. (David Williams, The Observer, 17th March 2013)"
