Wildeberg Terroirs Sauvignon Blanc
Country: South Africa Region: Franschhoek Region
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc Vintage: 2023
Producer: Wildeberg Wines Colour : White
Wine Maker: JD Rossouw
Description:
Wildeberg (‘wild mountain’) is literally a place ‘on the edge’, of Franschhoek and the mountains themselves. Formally an equestrian farm, the land has never before been planted under vine but this wild and magical mountain has an undefinable energy .
The fact that only 10% of the property itself can be planted underlines the wild character of this place.
Wildeberg is our small farm in Franschhoek. Wildeberg Terroirs is an expression of the most exciting vineyard blocks we work with in the wider Coastal Region. This is a release of a Sauvignon Blanc from the steep slopes of the Simonsberg.
From older vines that cling to Simonsberg in the tiny, mountainous ward of Banhoek within Stellenbosch. Dry grown vines grow thin and weedy on these vertiginous slopes. The fruit is hand-picked, crushed then fermented at Wildeberg. Location, location, location. That is the magic. Difficult soils, difficult site, interesting story.
Tasting Note:
A wave of rich tropical, leafy notes on the nose sway to a broad palate of tight lime-leaf, bay and silky texture with a super-bright, naturally acid finish.
Food Matches: Delicious with brightly-flavoured seafood dishes, Thai salads, citrus dressings, or indeed by the glass on its own.
