Description
In a nutshell:
A luscious, rich and tropical South African dessert wine from the Stellenbosch region.
The lowdown:
Vergelegen's Straw wine isn't made every year and even then it's only in small quantities. The estate rates the 2015 as one of the best they've produced of which less than 8,500 half bottles were made. It's a blend of 50% each of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. To concentrate the sugar levels the grapes were either left to hang on the vines or dried on wooden pallets and were then fermented on their skins and transferred to oak barrels part way through fermentation. The result is a wine where ripe, tropical fruit abounds on the nose and where the marvellous acidity and freshness gives it a real lift on the palate.
When to drink:
Best served chilled to around 8-10°C and it's great with light, creamy desserts.
Suitable for Vegetarians
