BERGPAD 2025
R235
BERGPAD is a Pinot Blanc from a single vineyard block in the Jonkershoek Valley of Stellenbosch. The name for this wine is derived from the famous mountain path (bergpad in Afrikaans) that runs from the University of Stellenbosch’s sports grounds, Coetzenburg, along the Stellenbosch Mountain towards Lanzerac Wine Estate in Jonkershoek. This path has become a regular feature for local and university sports and outdoor enthusiasts over the decades.
The dominant flavour of Pinot Blanc on the nose is preserved quince, violets, lavender and pears which follows through to the palate where creaminess and softness enters at the mid-palate and lingers on the extended finish. Only 2400 bottles of the BERGPAD were produced.

Jonkershoek Valley
Pinot Blanc’s dominant aromas of preserved quince, violets, lavender, and pears are beautifully expressed on the nose. These flavours continue onto the palate, where a creamy, soft texture emerges at the mid-palate, lingering into a long, elegant finish.
Pair this expressive wine with a creamy saffron seafood risotto or grilled halloumi with honey and toasted almonds.
Fermentation took place in 400-liter ceramic clay vessels as well as older French oak barrels, utilising mainly natural yeast, with a small component of added commercial yeast. The wine matured in clay for 11 months before bottling.
