Wildeberg

Old vine Semillon has always represented the pinnacle for our WO Franschhoek whites; it’s a versatile beast that can shapeshift to take on many different personalities. The blend here is exactly the same as found in our Wildeberg White (SBO501), mostly Semillon Blanc with a blob of it’s naturally mutated cousin; Semillon Gris, all from ancient vineyards dating back to 1905.

Production

The wine is matured for 9 months on gross lees, with battonage once a month, in 750l Italian Tava amphora. We’ve given the first vintage, 2023, a year in bottle to knit together before release

Tasting notes

An opening pithy lime salvo is followed up with spicy ginger notes with the battonage adding to a generous, mouth filling texture and nicely complementing the innate refined acidity on offer.
