With over three centuries of innovative viticulture behind it, Vergelegen’s new range and labels set out to celebrate its history while honouring the future it works so hard to conserve. Having been crowned the first Biodiversity and Wine Initiative champion, the estate is self-sufficient in terms of water, solar-powered, and plants 1 000 trees a year. Design inspiration was drawn from the estate’s rich history, natural beauty, and ongoing commitment to sustainability. With beautifully illustrated labels (thanks to artists Linda Smal and Rohan Etsebeth), our favourites include:
