Will Lyons commented, "On my visit to the Cape, Sauvignon Blanc has particularly impressed me." Among the stands outs is Vergelegen which "produced a restrained, mineral, zippy character with notes of gooseberry and pear."

Personally, it is the Bordeaux blends that really caught my attention."
"Vergelegen's Mill Race and straight Cabernet Sauvignon are all welcome in my cellar any day. It isn't an underestimation to put some of the past vintages on a par with anything produced in the Medoc." Learn More
