Tasting Notes

A fresh and vibrant nose of crushed red fruits, hints of redcurrant and wild plum with lightly herbal notes, cloves and star anise. Plush and richly flavoured with ripe black fruit, a savoury mid palate and subtle, gently spicy oak backed by juicy acidity. The rich fruit is offset by fine tannins on an attractively chunky finish.

Producer details

Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available to them across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region, producing small yet definitive expression of all the vineyards they worked with, and its these cuvees that are again selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg.

In the vineyard

All fruit is hand-harvested in February from selected sites in Franschhoek and Paarl.

In the winery

Both cultivars are fermented whole bunch, with some whole berry fruit, there is no crush, just a daily pump over during the natural fermentation. Wildeberg want to express place over cultivar so this slow, gentle extraction gives the wines a truer sense of origin. The components are racked to French and Austrian oak, new and old, for 20 months before the blend is decided. This blend is then allowed to marry for 6 weeks prior to coarse filtration and bottling on the farm.

Food Recommendations

Great with grilled meats, especially lamb and spiced meat dishes.
