Wildeberg Meteorique

TASTING NOTES

Beautiful Blanc de Blanc (100% Chardonnay) from Wildeberg Estates in the Banghoek area of Franschhoek. Naturally fermented in 600 litre French oak barrels for 4 months before secondary fermentation in bottle. The wine then spends 30 months on its lees before disgorgement with no dosage, so a Brut Nature. It has a nose of fine bread with notes of yeast, the palate has fresh toasted almonds and apricots with a persistent mousse.

Food match A wonderful pre-cursor to any meal – celebrating an event or just life itself!

Franschhoek is on the very edge of the south-eastern corner of the Cape’s venerable Coastal Region, indeed Wildeberg’s property border runs over the top of the mountain where the Coastal Region gives way to the baboon-strewn road to Grabouw and the wider Western Cape.The Wildeberg wines express the most captivating Franschhoek Valley fruit. In our Wildeberg Terroirs bottlings we look beyond our home to a clutch of exceptional sites of other origin.A mountain rich in metaphor with the visual heft to flatter any wine, releases of Wildeberg and Terroirs express our continued purpose – exceptional wines of place, however humble the origin. If the abiding memory of our wines remains a textural sense of place then we are portraying the Cape as hoped.
