Coterie Chenin Blanc-Grenache Blanc

What a stunnnig combination, and a stunning wine! Chenin and Grenache Blanc really complement each other here.

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 blanc comes from an old, low-yielding Franschhoek vineyard planted in 1962. This brings freshness and tightness to the blend, the old vines also bring Wildeberg’s hallmark texture. The Grenache Blanc is from vibrant, younger plantings Paarl, adding body and structure with this cultivars naturally exotic notes of jasmine and white spice. gentle oak influence - 65% 2nd fill and 35% 3rd fill barrels - simply to allow a little oxygen to soften and broaden this wine.
