Product Notes

Vergelegen Estate Sémillon Straw Wine is a unique and delicious dessert wine that boasts of exceptional sweetness and complexity. Produced from the Sémillon grape, this straw wine is made by drying the grapes on straw mats, resulting in concentrated flavors. The wine is aged in oak barrels for two years, enhancing its richness and adding a subtle oak flavor. The Vergelegen Estate Sémillon Straw Wine is a beautiful pale gold color and has an aromatically intense nose of honeycomb, apricots, and orange blossom. On the palate, it is intensely sweet with flavors of dried apricots and figs, yet retains a lovely acidity that balances the wine beautifully. It is a beautiful pairing for blue cheese and desserts.

About the Winery

Located in South Africa’s Western Cape Province, the Vergelegen Wine Estate has a rich history that dates back to 1700. The Governor of the Cape Province, Williem Adriaan van der Stel, established this estate during that time. By 1798, the Thieunissen family acquired this estate, and started planting many vines here. The family was focused on making wines from here, when the deadly phylloxera virus affected the vines during the 19th century. The wine production, growth of vines and everything else came to a standstill then.
