Production Details The Coterie wines draw upon a convergence of Wildeberg's tiny production pool of identified vineyards. Made with minimal intervention winemaking, wild ferment and coarse filtration to capture the essence of the source vineyards and soils. Wildeberg sources vineyards across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region, selecting cuvees left after the Wildeberg and Terroir Series releases. Both components were naturally fermented in 600 litre French oak barrels. The Chenin is from an old, low-yielding Franschhoek vineyard planted in 1982 (52%). The Grenache Blanc is from younger Paarl plantings (48%). 52% 2nd fill and 48% 3rd fill barrels.
