  Bergsig - Annmarie van Niekerk

  Nov 20, 202529 min

  The Lategan Family’s roots in the South African Winelands began in 1735 when Johann Hermann Lategan settled in the Wamakers Valley near the current Bergsig Estate. In 1843 Willem Hendrik Lategan moved to Bergsig and seven generations later, the proud tradition of winemaking continues. Bergsig has been in the family for almost 200 years. The Bergsig ethos is “future generations are the inheritors of this estate and therefore sustainable farming methods are a priority.” The motto that “wine that doesn’t cost the earth” resounds within the family. Being an estate, all the grapes are grown in our own vineyards, and all wines are produced and bottled on the property.

  La Brune - Nico Grobler

  May 29, 202535 min

  With many vintages in Burgundy Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is my absolute passion but its more of an obsession. Myself and Christelle dreamt early on about producing our own Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We started out very small with purchasing 1Ton of Pinot Noir from the Elgin Valley. 1 Ton became 2 and 2 became 4. One Pinot Noir became 2 Pinot Noirs and we had this beautiful little business suddenly and we felt this is a oppertunity in life that you can’t pass on. In 2020 we took on La Brune fulltime and we haven’t looked back since. Coolclimate Elgin has always been the dream and we were able to purchased our farm in Elgin Valley in 2020 with no trustfunds or investors we just had a beautiful dream, guts and determination that made sense to our banker! Our philosophy is producing wines with sense of place. Wines that showcases where the vines grow and to carry all the character of the influences of the land. Hence this philosophy is followed in how treat our vines but also how we approach the winemaking process. Minimum intervention is key and we allow the wines to follow their paths we just try to give them the correct advice at certain times. High density plantings is something I am very passionate about and we are very priviliged to have one of the highest density Pinot Noir blocks planted on La Brune at 10 000 vines/ Ha and also in 2024 we planted the highest density Chardonnay block in SA (until I am proven otherwise) also at 10 000 vines/ Ha. This is important for the future of our wines and we will continue to introduce more high density Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on the farm ... real ElginBurgundians!

  The Mentors - Izele van Blerk

  May 22, 202539 min

  Since its launch in 2006, The Mentors range has established itself as one of the most sought-after premium brands in the South African wine landscape. Built around a philosophy of expressing terroir and pioneering new wines and wine-making techniques, it’s a portfolio that showcases the founding philosophy of KWV, and the rich history and depth of expertise at one of South Africa’s leading wine producers. The insights and boundary-breaking approach from this unique cellar, often home to post-graduate oenology students trialling pioneering new winemaking techniques, lead to remarkable terroir-driven wines that deserved their own spotlight. Though the first wines were bottled in 2006, it was in 2009 that The Mentors range took flight. Situated on the outskirts of Paarl, the vast KWV production cellars are, at 24 hectares, the largest single winery in the southern hemisphere, producing upwards of 15 million litres of wine each year. Yet hidden away beneath the sea of warehouse roofs and rows of massive fermentation tanks you’ll find a special corner of this award-winning cellar; a tiny space of small tanks and hand-labelled barrels. This is the home of The Mentors. So, who are the mentors behind our name? They are all the teachers, the people over the centuries of winemaking who have brought us to where we are today. All the skill and the knowledge that has been passed on from one generation to the next has resulted in what is today’s The Mentors. Our team’s visionary approach and exceptional craftmanship today is a culmination of this collective, deep understanding of terroir and winemaking.The Mentors is about human ability. About having the insight to recognize what Mother Nature is providing in each unique vineyard, in a specific harvest, and to have the curiosity to find the best way to express its distinct qualities.
