"Of the many tasty Cape chardonnays, Vergelegen's is one of the very best, producing consistently good, classic wines but with that extra thrilling touch of quality that stems partly from the French oak barrels the wine is fermented and aged in. Not everyone will appreciate the intense, fat, buttery, roasted almond and blackened-toast elements of this bold, bouncy 14 per cent alcohol white, but served cool with big summer food, it's very impressive indeed." Jane MacQuitty, The Times
