Vergenoegd Löw is not just a wine estate – it’s a testament to centuries of passion and dedication to the art of winemaking. Nestled at the gateway to the Stellenbosch Wine Route, we are steeped in a rich heritage that dates back to 1696, making us one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa.
Our distinctive terroir stands as a unique feature in the Stellenbosch region, defined by the presence of limestone soils found only at Vergenoegd Löw. This unique foundation, paired with the cooling ocean breezes, nurtures a diversity of cultivars that each lend a distinct character to our award-winning wines. From nurturing the vines in our vineyard to meticulously crafting our wines in the cellar, we blend time-honoured traditions with sustainable practices and cutting-edge viticulture.
Our commitment to a harmonious co-existence with nature extends beyond the vines. We cherish our estate as an ecosystem, complete with innovative uses of Indian Runner Ducks for pest control and a herd of Dexter cows contributing to our sustainable farming practices.
With every bottle of Vergenoegd Löw wine, we offer not just a taste of quality, but an experience that embodies the richness of our land, the essence of our heritage, and the spirit of our people. It’s a sensory journey, a unique opportunity to awaken your senses and immerse yourself in the authentic flavors and captivating experiences of our timeless estate.
