Bergsig Estate is situated in one of South Africa’s most picturesque wine valleys: the Breedekloof Wine Valley, at the foot of two big mountain ranges – the Drakenstein and the Hex River Mountains – there vines are fed by water accumulated from mountain streams which can run throughout summer, as these mountains are often snow-capped in winter, storing a life source until the sun melts it into much-needed water for our grapes.
Erosional material coming from the surrounding mountains has formed the ancient soil of the vineyards for many, many years, creating a unique terroir that gives our wines their distinct taste.
Bergsig recognise this gift of nature, which is why conservation is a strong focus of the estate. They are IPW certified, meaning we embrace environmentally-friendly farming methods. Over 437 hectares of mountain, river, and valley terrain on our estate is protected and eliminated of alien species.
