BergsigIcarus Heritage Reserve

About

Some wines are made for a season. Others are made for a lifetime.

Born from the harvests of 1994 and 1995, this distinguished Tinta Barocca was crafted at Bergsig Estate in the Breedekloof Valley and matured slowly in oak barrels for over three decades. Bergsig Estate, home to the Lategan family since 1843, reflects seven generations of dedication to viticulture beneath the surrounding mountain ranges. Inspired by the spirit of aspiration and the estate’s enduring passion for flight, Icarus Heritage Reserve stands as a rare expression of time, heritage and craftsmanship - shaped by patience, place and legacy.

The Icarus range is named after the soaring mythical Greek character. The label is a reflection of the mountain peaks that surround the estate, the Lategan family's passion for flight, and the driving pursuit of excellence that pervades Bergsig's wines, from vine to bottle. The Icarus blends represent the pinnacle of blending craftsmanship in the Bergsig wine portfolio.
