Tasting Note Bergsig Estate Barrel Fermented Chardonnay
Bergsig Estate Chardonnay has a nose of fresh lemon and lime aromas, supported by smoky notes from the oak aging. The palate is soft and creamy, with nuances of freshly baked bread, butterscotch, vanilla, and toasted nuts. A very beautiful, pure, complex, and elegant wine in a Burgundy style. A wonderful (lighter) alternative to, for example, heavy Chardonnays from America. Dark yellow color.
Food Pairing
Delicious with various fish dishes, shellfish and crustaceans, white meat, poultry, and seafood risotto.
Additional information
The name Bergsig (view of the mountain) refers to the view of the Drakensberg mountains; if you walk up through the vineyards, you have a breathtaking view over the entire area. The surroundings are impressive and can even be called fairytale-like. Because the Breede River influences the vineyards, the soil composition is perfect for growing first-class top grapes for both white and red wine.
After pressing, this Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented undergoes wood aging for about six months. 300-liter barrels are used, which are partially new.
Over the years, the baton has been passed to the next generation, and today the seventh generation is at the helm. The estate has been in the hands of the Lategan family for generations and is currently led by winemaker De Wet Lategan. The fact that this winemaker from South Africa is particularly talented is evident from the results at wine competitions; his wines are regularly awarded gold or silver.
