Bergsig Estate WolseleyAbout Bergsig Estate Wolseley Bergsig Estate is situated in the Breede River Valley in South Africa, about 110 km from Cape Town. This is where the Drakenstein and Hex River Mountains meet, creating such scenic surroundings that the farm was named “Bergsig”, meaning “mountain view”. Covering tracts of land on the valley floor and mountain slopes, this family estate offers a range of soils, aspects and climatic conditions, ideally suited to the quality white and red grape varieties grown here. The first vines were planted in 1843 by Willem Lategan, forefather of a family that still runs the farm 6 generations later. Prop Lategan, well-known in the local wine industry, has now passed the responsibility on to his three sons: De Wet, as winemaker, while Plum and Louis are in charge of the vineyards and farming operations. This specialization allows them to use modern and eco-friendly viticultural practices, as well as the latest cellar technology. Besides the main aim of producing superior wines, the family is also committed to conservation and has set aside tracts of land for this purpose. The mountain slopes cradling the estate are home to indigenous fynbos and a rich diversity of flora and fauna.
