A tiny production of Cap Classique - traditionally produced fizz from the Cape. A nose of proving sour dough with a fine bead, the palate releases notes of fresh almonds, warm sand and apricot kernel.

The Earth’s mantle thrusts up above the gentle town of Franschhoek, a wild slice of untamed mountain on which sits a farm named Wildeberg. An established wine region for some 350 years, sensible generations never thought to plant a vine here until a happy band of idealists recently craned their necks up at this hillside and, dizzy with hope, decided to give it a go. 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.

100% Chardonnay whole bunch pressed and naturally settled for 48 hours. Then naturally fermented in old 600 litre French oak barrels and aged in barrel for 4 months before bottling for second fermentation. The wine spent a minimum of 12 months on its lees before disgorgement. No dosage was added, thus a Brut Nature.

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