 Country: South Africa Region: Western Cape Region Varietal: 100% Cinsault Producer: Wildeberg Wines Colour : Red Wine Maker: JD Rossouw Description: Wildeberg (‘wild mountain’) is literally a place ‘on the edge’, of Franschhoek and the mountains themselves. Formally an equestrian farm, the land has never before been planted under vine but this wild and magical mountain has an undefinable energy .  The fact that only 10% of the property itself can be planted underlines the wild character of this place.  From mature, unirrigated bush vines in Paarl, this old dame is remarkably light on her feet. Inestimably life affirming and quaffable it is a pure joy to drink 28 year old, dry grown bush vine Cinsault from organically farmed blocks, brought to Wildeberg where roughly 30% of the fruit is carbonically macerated due to some whole bunch material in the press. The juice is then allowed to ferment naturally in older French oak. A natural wine with no fining or filtration and very low sulphur levels Tasting Note:The nose is alluringly bright with aromas of fresh strawberry, juicy cherry and crunchy red fruit. The palate reflects these with vibrant, tangy berry fruit, fresh acidity and gently mineral notes which marry together with delicate finesse. Food Matches: Great lightly chilled with Mediterranean dishes, chargrilled veg, pan fried shrimp or Asian inspired
