Vergelegen Stellenbosch Single vineyard Schaapenberg Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2011 92 Points



From a 2.5 ha single vineyard, by far considered the finest expression of Sauvignon Blanc in Helderberg and firmly in one of South Africa's top 25 bottling of the variety with an impressive track record of longevity and fine development in bottle, in fact it is a style that reward drinking 4 to 5 years after vintage, earlier than that it can be pretty unyielding.

Fresh mineral core, flinty, Sancerre like, precise acidity with crunchy delicate gooseberry and lime, linear, best revisited from 2015+
