Wildeberg Coterie - Chenin Grenache Blanc 2021

Over a nose of warm sand and crushed rocks, there climbs a note of jasmine flowers, following through onto the palate with a breadth of 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.

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.

in the cellar : 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%).

The Grenache Blanc is from vibrant, younger plantings Paarl (35%), adding body and structure with this cultivars naturally exotic notes of jasmine and white spice. 65% 2nd fill and 35% 3rd fill barrels.
