Brand se Berg Chenin Blanc

The wine’s lean and mineral nature complements the delicate flavours of grilled sea bass with a lemon-and-herb sauce. Its peach and melon aromas pair beautifully with the sweetness of fresh peaches and the savoury saltiness of prosciutto, when combined in a salad. A great pairing with almond-crusted roast chicken with apricot glaze, while its subtle perfume and finesse will balance the rich, tangy flavours of goat cheese tart with caramelized onions.

We believe wines are made in the vineyard. Careful vineyard selection is therefore key to our results. Very close relationships with growers ensure sustainable vineyard practices and deliver consistent quality in the bottle. The role of the viticulturist is to guide our growers to produce the best possible quality fruit. In the ideal world the role of our winemaking team is to capture the essence of the fruit in the bottle. We do not believe in heavily wooded wines and use of “New Oak”. For us a barrel is largely a very practically designed vessel to facilitate the development of the intrinsic qualities of the grapes. So, it is all about the grape. We have access to some of the finest certified old vineyard blocks (older than 35 years) in the Industry. This segment of our business is becoming particularly interesting and we strive to keep these vineyards in the ground.

The 2023 vintage will be remembered for ideal weather conditions and the absence of serious heat waves.The harvest conditions were also extremely favourable until the end of February with stellar grape quality.

Aged for 11 months in seasoned French oak barrels.

Grapes were carefully hand-picked in the early hours of the morning at optimal ripeness of 22.5°B. The grapes were gently crushed, pressed, and settled overnight. The juice was then transferred to older barrels for fermentation, with extended time on the fine lees for added texture and mouthfeel.
