Coterie by Wildeberg is the third expression in the Wildeberg range, born from the finest vineyard sites across Franschhoek and the WO Coastal Region. Where the eyes of each harvest are selected for the Wildeberg and Terroir Series releases, it is the remaining expression of those same sites that forms the Coterie cuvees. The result is a wine that speaks honestly of place. Why You'll Love It This is Red Wine at its most expressive. Coterie by Wildeberg is crafted with the same rigour and vineyard philosophy as the flagship range, yet offers a more accessible entry point into the Wildeberg story. The blend of Grenache and Syrah is fermented whole bunch with no crush, allowing a slow, gentle extraction that prioritises origin over winery intervention. The result is a wine of real character, fragrance and drinkability. Vineyard and Production. All fruit is hand-harvested from selected sites across Franschhoek and Paarl . Both cultivars are fermented whole bunch with some whole berry fruit and no crush, relying on a daily pump over during natural fermentation. The components are racked to French and Austrian oak, new and old, for eight months before the blend is decided. The finished blend is then allowed to marry for a further six weeks before coarse filtration and bottling on the farm. Tasting Notes. A warm, spicy nose with freshly cracked black pepper, allspice and ripe plum. The palate delivers good concentration of sappy red berry and dark fruits, balanced by fresh acidity. The varietal characters of Grenache and Syrah complement each other with subtlety and fragrance, producing a wine that is true to its Coastal Region origins. Perfect Pairings. An excellent match for grilled meats, particularly lamb and spiced dishes. Also well suited to slow-cooked stews, merguez sausages, roasted vegetables and hearty charcuterie boards. Grape Varieties.
