Wildeberg White (Sémillon) 2020

R465.00

Region: Franschhoek

Tasting note:

Beneath an initially quiet nose of waxy citrus peel, the wine floods the palate with rich preserved-lemon laden with sandy texture lifted by vital acidity and a fine, wild fennel finish. A true vin-de-garde, Wildeberg White’s tiny production merits the patience of cellaring but has huge appeal in its youth.’ – Wildeberg

Pairing suggestions:

Ideal with delicate fish dishes, fresh oysters, and prawns.

Owned by Manchester wine company Boutinot, Wildeberg is ‘creating wines with a sense of place from unique vineyard blocks across the Cape’. A core part of the creating is now done in an on-site 300-ton cellar which joins a tasting room. Wildeberg farm has only 10ha planted to vines, the rest is wild. Fruit for the Wildeberg wines is  from the Franschhoek Valley only, is hand-harvested, naturally fermented and gently matured in their mountain barrel hall on the farm. In their Wildeberg Terroirs bottlings they look beyond their home to a clutch of exceptional sites of other origin.  Releases of Wildeberg and Terroirs express their continued purpose – exceptional wines of place, however humble the origin. ‘If the abiding memory of our wines remains a textural sense of place then we are portraying the Cape as hoped’.
This 100% Semillon is sourced from ancient bush vines in the Franschhoek Valley in the south-eastern corner of the Cape’s Coastal Region. Franschhoek is amongst the oldest planted regions in the Cape, with Semillon having been planted here in 1679 by French Huguenot settlers. ‘Naturally fermented in new and older oak at our Franschhoek farm, there is very little magic involved other than the fruit itself.’
