Descrizione

Chardonnay - Bergsig Estate is born in the vineyards located in the cool and mineral-rich lands of the Western Cape region, South Africa, a terroir ideal for expressing the complexity of this international grape variety. In the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow color, with golden reflections that anticipate an elegant and vibrant structure. The bouquet opens with fruity notes of golden apple and ripe pear, intertwined with slightly buttery and vanilla nuances, stemming from aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, it is well balanced, fresh, and soft, with a delicate acidity that supports its aromatic persistence. Perfect to accompany roasted oily fish dishes, shellfish, and fresh cheeses, this Chardonnay expresses the innovative and quality-focused vocation of Bergsig Estate at its best, offering a enveloping and refined sensory experience.

The estate bears the Afrikaans name for "mountain view" and has belonged to the Lategan family for generations. The family's roots in the Winelands date back to 1735, and they established themselves at Bergsig in 1843. Over the years the property has preserved the family's winemaking tradition and developed hospitality and direct sales.
