The Story of Coterie by Wildeberg
The Coterie wines by Wildeberg draw upon a convergence of Wildeberg’s tiny production pool of identified vineyards. Made with Wildeberg’s cornerstone philosophies of minimal intervention winemaking, wild ferment, and coarse filtration, these wines capture the essence of the source vineyards and soils.
Production
Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available 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 they work with, and it’s these cuvees that are again selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg.
Chenin and Grenache Blanc complement each other very well, and 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. The Chenin is from an old, low-yielding Franschhoek vineyard planted in 1962 (65%). This brings freshness and tightness to the blend, and the old vines also bring Wildeberg’s hallmark texture. The Grenache Blanc is from vibrant, younger plantings in Paarl (35%), adding body and structure with this cultivar’s naturally exotic notes of jasmine and white spice.
