Coterie by Wildeberg Cabernet Franc Malbec. The Coterie wines 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 to capture the essence of the source vineyards and soils.
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. Barrel fermented for 20 months.
Tasting notes
Quite a serious wine with a furrowed brow this is a textural, gently muscular and tight expression of Cab Franc Malbec.
Food match
Grilled meats, especially lamb and spiced meat dishes.
