The star Malbec of our recent Malbec World Day virtual tasting! Deep, dark purple-red colour. Expressive aromas with notes of ripe black fruits, violets, laced, with subtle vanilla. On the palate, an enticing, sweet entry leads to a complex wine, with soft round tannins that are characteristic of the “Las Bayas” vineyard. Finishes long, juicy and lingering.

Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available to us across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region, from which cuvées the eyes are plucked to make Wildeberg and the Terroir Series releases. In doing so there remains a small yet definitive expression of all the vineyards we worked with, and its these cuvees that are again selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg. Barrel fermented for 20 months

Juicy red and black fruits with some drier cedary streaks on the palate. A classy, complex wine with fantastic structure and long-lingering finish.

The cool climate pepper spice notes are complemented by ripe red fruit aromas which follow through to the palate. Oak spice from judicious barrel aging adds complexity to a ripe plum, cherry and mulberry fruit core with silky, ripe tannins. The elegance, spice and freshness from Elgin combined with the Stellenbosch structure and intensity ensure that this wine will cellar exceptionally for 5 to 10 years.
