Description

Made from a single site of bush vine Cinsault in Wellington, planted in 1974 on well-drained slopes of deep, soft loams littered with granite and quartz in the shadow of the Hawekwa mountains. Hand-harvested bush vine fruit is naturally fermented at Wildeberg with 30% whole bunch pressing. 9 months ageing in 600 ltr French oak, mainly older barrels, 15% new. Minimal intervention at all stages in order to capture the natural site-specific energy of this unique fruit.

600 ltr French oak, mainly older barrels, 15% new. Minimal intervention at all stages in order to capture the natural site-specific energy of this unique fruit.

A fresh, lifted nose with ripe cherry and damson fruit and hints of cinnamon and allspice. Bright and finely balanced on the palate with juicy red fruit and tangy acidity offset by warm, gently earthy notes leading to a pure, focussed finish.

Pairs well with a variety of different dishes, but excellent with hoi-sin duck, Karoo salt lamb off the braai, seared tuna with roast Mediterranean vegetables, and well-matured hard cheese.

Nestled in the foothills of the Franschhoek Mountains, Wildeberg combines traditional methods with modern techniques, focusing on minimal intervention and sustainable viticulture. The estate produces a range of wines, including elegant Chenin Blanc, expressive Syrah, and refined Bordeaux-style blends.

Western Cape

South Africa's Western Cape is a premier wine region, renowned for its diverse and high-quality wines. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate with warm, sunny days and cooling ocean breezes, ideal for viticulture. Western Cape is famous for its full-bodied reds, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, which offer rich fruit flavours and well-structured tannins. The area also excels in producing crisp, refreshing whites, particularly from Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, known for their vibrant acidity and expressive fruit notes.
