Wildeberg Red is made mostly of Syrah (or Shiraz), which gives that juicy, deep quality, with around 10% Cabernet Franc lending its trademark crunchy acidity and herbaceousness. The grapes for this were hand-harvested and naturally fermented, so it is very natural on the palate with earthy notes. The fresh raspberry aromas are lovely, and there's a real depth and sense of artisan craft here - a kind of love going into every bottle that you can only find from such small production.
Wildeberg is a small farm in Franschhoek. Only 10ha can be planted to vines, the rest is wild. The fruit for the Wildeberg wines comes from the Franschhoek Valley only, hand-harvested, naturally-fermented and gently matured in the mountain barrel hall on the farm.
