Wildeberg The Coterie is a premium South African red crafted from hand-harvested Cabernet Franc and Malbec grown in the renowned vineyards of Franschhoek and Paarl. Naturally fermented and aged for 20 months in French and Austrian oak, this is an elegant, terroir-driven blend of real depth and refinement.
Why You'll Love It
The Coterie is Wildeberg's statement of intent: a wine made with minimal intervention and maximum respect for its origins. Whole bunch and whole berry fermentation with no crushing places the emphasis firmly on terroir over variety, allowing Franschhoek and Paarl to speak clearly through the glass. Twenty months in a combination of new and seasoned French and Austrian oak adds complexity and structure without overpowering the vibrant fruit character. This is South African fine wine at a price that makes it genuinely accessible. Vineyard and Production Cabernet Franc and Malbec grapes are hand-picked from vineyards in Franschhoek and Paarl. Fermentation is carried out naturally using whole bunches and whole berries with no crushing, and minimal intervention throughout to emphasise terroir. The wine is then aged for 20 months in a combination of new and seasoned French and Austrian oak barrels to develop depth, complexity, and a well-integrated structure.
Tasting Notes
Ripe and expressive on the nose, with aromas of cherry, wild plum, blackberry, brown spice, and star anise. The palate is robust and richly flavoured, showing concentrated damson fruit, juicy acidity, and a savoury mid-palate with gentle oak spice. The finish is fresh and sappy, supported by fine, integrated tannins.
Perfect Pairings
A natural match for grilled meats, particularly lamb, as well as spiced dishes, hearty casseroles, and Mediterranean or North African-inspired cuisine. Also excellent alongside slow-roasted beef and aged hard cheeses.
The Blend
Cabernet Franc and Malbec.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
