Deep golden and absolutely loaded with character, this Chenin Blanc announces itself with one of the most generous noses going. Ripe mango, pineapple, guava and cantaloupe melon pile in alongside honeysuckle and jasmine, before a wave of honeyed vanilla, caramel, coconut and buttered pastry takes things to another level entirely. Caramelised pecans and a hint of dried fig add even more depth. An absolute must-try, this is completely show-stopping!

Bergsig Estate is the real deal - a proper family farm with deep roots and zero pretence. Tucked into the Breedekloof Valley where the Drakenstein and Hex River mountains collide, this estate has been in the Lategan family since the 1800s, with winemaking DNA stretching all the way back to 1735. “Bergsig” literally means mountain view, and between the snow-fed rivers, cooling winds, and ancient mountain soils, the setting is just as dramatic as the wines. What makes Bergsig special is their balance of tradition and common sense. Everything is grown, made, and bottled on the estate, sustainability is baked into daily life, and the ethos is simple: make honest wines that don’t cost the earth - literally or financially. Pinotage and Chenin Blanc are national treasures in South Africa, and Bergsig treats them with the respect they deserve, crafting styles that are generous, expressive, and unmistakably local without going over the top.
