Description
Wildeberg is a small, wild mountainside farm overlooking Franschhoek, with just 10 hectares suitable for vines. The team takes a deliberately hands-off approach: fruit is hand-picked, naturally fermented and gently matured in the farm’s mountain barrel hall, aiming to capture the freshness and character of the Franschhoek Valley.
The 2023 Wildeberg Red is 100% Syrah, naturally fermented and matured in large French oak barrels. It’s a wonderfully fresh, savoury expression of Syrah, with crushed raspberry, black cherry and cranberry, layered with black pepper, allspice, dried herbs and a subtle smoky note. Juicy and supple on the palate, but with lovely freshness, fine tannins and a mineral edge.
Food match: Charcuterie, grilled lamb, steak or anything off the barbecue. It’s particularly good served slightly cool rather than at warm room temperature
