Bergsig Gewürztraminer

Aromatic and expressive, like a bright, sunny spring day. A distinctive aroma that exuberantly displays all the hues of spring. That's Bergsig Gewürztraminer. A white wine brimming with perfection, made from the delicate Gewürztraminer grape. This unique grape has made waves in Alsace. Besides Alsace, it's still found sporadically around the Alps, but rarely beyond. It's therefore quite unique that Bergsig Estate owns a parcel of Gewürztraminer grapes in South Africa.

The South African wine fields of Bergsig

Bergsig Winery is a true family business, meaning winemaking expertise is passed down from generation to generation. Each member contributes something, ensuring the quality continues to improve over the decades. This has resulted in Bergsig's exceptionally high price-quality ratio; so high that many wineries in the region envy its vineyards. And there are quite a few. A whopping 250 hectares are owned by the company, a substantial amount even by South African standards. The lion's share of the vineyards is situated along the mighty Breede River, which is vital to viticulture. Without this powerful, meandering waterway, the success of Bergsig wines would never have been so great.
