A well-known name in the South African wine landscape. They own numerous wine estates and are masters of their beautiful vineyards. This family is also behind Bergsig Estate, one of South Africa's most impressive wineries. The De Wet Lategan family is the driving force behind this winery. Since its founding in 1843, at the foot of the Drakensberg Mountains, this family has held sway here. And with great success. It's now the seventh generation that runs Bergsig Estate. Thanks to their leading wines, we can safely say that this family has been important to South African wines.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The vineyards of Bergsig Estate\u003c\/h2\u003e \nThe name Bergsig wasn't chosen entirely by chance. It's a testament to the breathtaking views of the Drakensberg Mountains. When you stroll through the vineyards, the Drakensberg is prominently in your field of vision. Furthermore, the location of Bergsig Estate's vineyards depends on another crucial factor: the Breede River. This mighty river, which flows past Worcester, is a lifeblood for South African wines. Without it, these wines wouldn't have the allure they enjoy today.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Bergsig's South African wines\u003c\/h2\u003e \nThe vineyards boast numerous classics. After all, you have to do what you excel at. That's precisely why you'll find countless vines of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, and Cabernet Sauvignon. But Bergsig Estate has also managed to incorporate some less accessible grapes. Take, for example, the Alsatian Gewürztraminer, from which the somewhat unconventional Bergsig Gewürztraminer wine is made. The Bergsig Cape LBV, made from Tinta Barocca, is completely unique. Although this wine resembles a port, legal regulations absolutely prohibit it from being called a port.","products":[{"product_id":"bergsig-chardonnay-barrel-fermented","title":"Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

Wonderfully crisp and fresh in both aroma and taste. The history of Bergsig Winery goes back a long way. It was already in 1843 that the winery began producing the finest wines in Rawsonville (Breede Rivier). The De Wet Lategan family founded the winery and set to work with the finest terroirs in this area. The seventh generation is now at the helm, making Bergsig a true family business. This is remarkable, as it's no small winery. In total, they have access to two hundred and fifty hectares of vineyards filled with Chardonnay, Pinotage, and Sauvignon Blanc. The name was quickly established when the first generation stood beside their vineyards atop the Drakensberg. They could see over the entire area and named their winery Bergsig.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest of the Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is situated at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level. This enormous altitude creates a superb environment for the grapes. Sauvignon Blanc grapes grow evenly and slowly and are harvested very late in the season, usually three weeks later than in other South African wine regions. This late harvest results in perfect, full-bodied bunches, a characteristic we can taste in this white wine. The soil structure, primarily consisting of sandstone and loose clay, provides the grapes with exactly what they need. Harvesting takes place early in the morning to prevent damage and oxidation from reaching the Bergsig cellars.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The crisp taste of the Bergsig Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nPouring this white Bergsig Sauvignon Blanc, we immediately notice a vibrant aroma. Invigorating notes of exotic fruit, with a touch of passion fruit, take center stage. In the glass, it has a clear color with a very appealing green sheen. Nosing the glass, we primarily smell nuances of freshly mown grass, lime, green melon, and a touch of grapefruit. The aroma is so appealing that we quickly let the wine roll over our tongue. It initially reveals fresh fruit notes of citrus, green apple, and passion fruit, followed by hints of green herbs like mint. Later, as we play with the wine in the glass, we also taste some minerals and ripe pears.","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775804280911,"sku":"11355","price":8.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/bergsig-sauvignon-blanc_11355.webp?v=1770195052"},{"product_id":"bergsig-tant-anna-chardonnay-reserve","title":"Bergsig Tant Anna Chardonnay Reserve","description":"Incredible beauty, softness, and strength!

Her character was generous, open, and friendly, and we clearly taste that in this white wine from South Africa. A magnificent wine still revered by the Bergsig family. In 1843, the De Wet Lategan family founded the winery in Rawsonville (Breede Rivier). Over the years, it has grown considerably, and today, they have two hundred and fifty hectares of vineyards filled with many international grape varieties.

The vineyard is centuries old and is currently producing a top harvest. This is partly due to the fantastic climate. The abundant sunshine provides the Chardonnay grapes with everything they need. The bunches ripen very slowly, giving the grapes more time to draw nutrients from the rich soil structure. Harvesting begins late in the season and is carried out entirely by hand. Only the very best bunches are picked and brought to Bergsig in small crates. Once arrived, the bunches are stacked. From this point, the bunches begin to bleed: gravity crushes them, and the finest juice flows into the tank. This very expensive technique demonstrates the exceptional quality. It is fermented in oak barrels and then matured for another thirteen months in oak barrels.

Well, as far as we're concerned, it deserves double platinum status, because a wine with such character is a joy to drink. Unfortunately, the yield is limited and it's only produced in the best vintages. The Bergsig winery was founded by the De Wet Lategan family in 1843. So, its history goes back a long way. Today, the seventh generation is at the helm of the Bergsig family winery. The vineyards are centuries old and lie against the Drakensberg Mountains in Breede Rivier. The winery is located in the town of Rawsonville, and if you climb to the summit of the Drakensberg, you have a fantastic view of the vineyards. The name of this beautiful winery is derived from this. This Bergsig red wine, called Uncle Prop, is a tribute to an uncle of the family. He was a strong and powerful man who meant a lot to Bergsig.

The Cabernet Sauvignon bunches grow in an old vineyard situated at a very high altitude. At 350 meters above sea level, the grapes enjoy the sun and the cool air. Nights can get very cold in the vineyards. This allows the grapes to retain their strength and freshness, resulting in a top-notch harvest for this Oom Prop. The old soil structure lends great richness to the harvest. The sandstone, limestone, and clay contribute to the development of the full bunches. When the grapes are ripe, which is late in the season, the bunches are harvested by hand. The grapes are then transported in small crates to Bergsig where they are stacked. Gravity crushes the bunches, causing the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to bleed. By bleed, we mean that the pressure releases the finest juice from the bunches. This beautiful juice is collected, bringing the quality to a very high level. It matures entirely in oak barrels for a full twenty-four months. A wine you'll never forget, so beautiful.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe best red wine from Bergsig\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n It's a true gem from the Breedekloof region.

In the glass, we see a deep red color with a dark purple rim. Ripe aromas emerge, reminiscent of blackberries, cherries, but also cigar boxes and smokiness. The complex aroma continues into the taste, revealing nuances of blackcurrant, dark spices, and a touch of vanilla on the palate. Swirl this red wine around your mouth to release all the flavors. Nuances of licorice, gingerbread, dark chocolate, and a touch of fresh plums develop distinctly.","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775803887695,"sku":"11359","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/bergsig-oom-porp-cabernet-sauvignon_11359.webp?v=1770195051"},{"product_id":"bergsig-gewurztraminer","title":"Bergsig Gewürztraminer","description":"Aromatic and expressive, like a bright, sunny spring day.
