Cortese Nostru Catarratto Lucido Organic 2023
Cortese Nostru Catarratto Lucido is a characterful, certified organic white wine from Sicily, showcasing the indigenous Catarratto Lucido grape in its purest form. Straw-coloured with flecks of green, it delivers a distinctive aromatic profile of jasmine, aromatic herbs, and white peach, underpinned by a strong mineral backbone and lively acidity. A compelling expression of authentic Sicilian winemaking from our Italian Wines collection. Why You'll Love It Catarratto Lucido is one of Sicily's great indigenous white grapes, prized for its aromatic complexity, mineral intensity, and refreshing acidity. Cortese Nostru is dedicated to expressing the variety in its most authentic form, using certified organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking to let the terroir speak clearly. The result is a wine of remarkable clarity and character that offers outstanding value for the quality in the glass. Vineyard & Production Grapes are carefully selected from certified organic vineyards in Sicily and gently pressed to extract pure juice. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with temperature control to preserve the wine's natural aromatics and fresh fruit character. The wine is then filtered, stabilised, and bottled to retain its vibrant acidity and mineral intensity. Tasting Notes Straw-coloured with flecks of green. The nose opens with a characterful bouquet of jasmine, aromatic herbs, and nutmeg, with delicate touches of white peach. On the palate, a strong mineral backbone is perfectly balanced with lively acidity. The finish is long and complex with delicious almond flavours. Perfect Pairings Ideal with grilled fish, seafood pasta, light risotto, and fresh salads. Also pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine, vegetable-based dishes, and soft fresh cheeses. Excellent as an aperitif. The Blend 100% Catarratto
Wildeberg Coterie Grenache Blanc - Chenin Blanc 2023
A textural wine made from Chenin Blanc sourced from old bush vines in Franschhoek and Grenache Blanc from younger vines in Paarl. The nose is ripe with peach, tropical fruits and hints of jasmine. The palate shows texture and generosity from the old bush vine Chenin, veiled with white spice and exotic notes from the younger, alluring Grenache Blanc, the whole ultimately finishing rich, yet fresh and textural. Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available to us across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region, from which cuvées the eyes are plucked to make Wildeberg and the Terroir Series releases. In doing so there remains a small yet definitive expression of all the vineyards we worked with, and its these cuvees that are again selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg. Chenin and Grenache Blanc really complement each other very well. Both varietals love the Coastal Region’s arid soils and Mediterranean climate due to their inherent tolerance to drought. Both components were naturally fermented in 600 litre French oak barrels. 65% 2nd fill and 35% 3rd fill barrels. Food match This is a rich, textural wine whose body and exotic jasmine notes would ably marry with gentle Malay and Thai green fish curries, dishes with lemongrass and coriander, or just simply braai-ed linefish
