The Fledge and Co – Vagabond
A White Blend of Character and Rebellion
Celebrate individuality with The Fledge and Co – Vagabond, affectionately known as GeelSlang after the striking Cape Cobra. This unapologetically unique wine embraces both elegance and rebellion, offering a charismatic expression of craftsmanship and heritage. Bold yet refined, it captures the adventurous spirit of The Fledge and Co’s winemaking philosophy.
Now in its fifth vintage, The Fledge and Co – Vagabond takes a radical departure with Chardonnay at the core, supported by the aromatic flair of Rhône Viognier, old bush vine Chenin Blanc (Steen), exotic Verdelho, and the rare Hungarian Hárslevelü, which undergoes full skin fermentation for depth and intrigue.
Old-School Craftsmanship with Modern Flair
Handcrafted using traditional techniques, The Fledge and Co – Vagabond is barrel-fermented and matured in seasoned oak, delivering complexity, texture, and character. The palate is both generously full and refreshingly zesty, offering layers of stone fruit, floral lift, and subtle spice that unfold with each sip.
Perfect Pairings: This versatile white blend pairs beautifully with mild Cantonese or Cape Malay dishes, soft cheeses, or grilled duck breast served with citrus salad. Its balance of richness and freshness makes it a standout partner for both delicate and flavourful cuisine.
