Tasting note Bergsig Estate Patmos Reserve Chenin Blanc
Rich in aromas such as dried apricots, ripe citrus, and a hint of oak. An exciting dry Chenin Blanc with the potential to age beautifully. The wine is complex. Elegant and with fine acidity. Yet also full-bodied.
Food Pairing
A great food wine! It can hold its own. Chicken with peaches, quail with apricots, a spiced couscous, grilled fish, scallops, roasted pork, Oriental salads, or dishes with a creamy sauce.
Other information
The name Bergsig relates to the view of the Drakensberg mountains, but more important for the soil composition of the vineyard is its location near the Breede River. Over time, that river has created a great variety of soil types, making it possible to work with an equally varied planting for both white and red wines.
This Bergsig Chenin Blanc Reserve owes its name to the sailing ship Padmos (Patmos), built in Rotterdam in 1722. Captain Willem de Wijs's ship sailed back and forth to South Africa 9 times before it sank in Smalle Baai. On one of the voyages, the ship departed from Texel with Johann Herman Lategan on board, one of the ancestors of the current successful winemaker De Wet Lategan. A model of the ship is on display at the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam.
