Bergsig - Annmarie van Niekerk
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.
