2022 The Fledge & Co. - Vagabond White Blend Calitzdorp Western Cape (750ml)

The name says it all. Leon Coetzee and Margeaux Nel don't own vineyards — instead they travel over 20,000km each vintage to hand-select grapes from more than 50 vineyards and 23 varieties across South Africa's most characterful, little-known regions.  The Vagabond is their flagship white and a testament to that nomadic philosophy. This vintage blends nine varieties — Chenin Blanc, Roussanne, Verdelho, Colombard, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Macabeo — sourced from 17 different vineyards.  The result is bright and complex, ranging from grapefruit and pineapple to rose petal and honey-infused cream, with vibrant acidity that makes it equally enjoyable on its own or at the table.  At just 13% ABV, it's effortlessly drinkable and endlessly versatile. Unfined. Drink now.
