The Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented is a tribute to the rich history of the Bergsig winery, which has been producing superb wines at the foot of the Drakensberg since 1843. Situated on Rawsonville's Breede River, Bergsig boasts not only extensive vineyards but also a state-of-the-art winery. The 250 hectares of vineyards, planted with grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinotage, and Sauvignon Blanc, offer breathtaking views of the Drakensberg. The influence of the Breede River creates a soil composition ideal for growing top-quality grapes, and you can taste that in every sip of the Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented.
Tradition and Innovation at Bergsig
The seventh generation of the De Wet Lategan family is currently at the helm of Bergsig. Under their inspiring leadership, the tradition continues, but with a modern twist. The Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented is a perfect example. This wine, with its characteristic oak aging, is a harmonious combination of tradition and innovation. The vineyards, situated at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level, benefit from the Mediterranean climate, with warm, sunny days and cool nights. This allows the Chardonnay grapes to be harvested in March, at their peak ripeness.
The Depth of Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented
The Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented is meticulously aged for six months in 300-liter barrels, some of which are new. This process enriches the wine, giving it unparalleled depth and complexity. In the glass, the Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented shines with a golden glow. The nose is seduced by aromas of tropical fruit, butterscotch, vanilla, and roasted nuts, complemented by a hint of spice. A sip reveals flavors of apricot, vanilla, cedar, and hazelnut, with hints of spicy oak, licorice, and buttery caramel in the background.
