Franschhoek has been an established wine region for some 350 years, sensible generations never thought to plant a vine on this particular site until a happy band of idealists recently craned their necks up at this hillside and, dizzy with hope, decided to give it a go.

The Wildeberg wines express the most captivating Franschhoek Valley fruit. In their Wildeberg terroirs bottlings they look beyond their home to a clutch of exceptional sites of other origin.

The farm’s compact barrel hall is busily bubbling away with wild ferments whilst a small winery will form the next evolutionary phase. They have sublime accommodation for guests and arguably the most dramatically-appointed tasting room in the hemisphere.

The Coterie wines draw upon a convergence of Wildeberg’s tiny production pool of identified vineyards. Made with Wildeberg’s cornerstone philosophies of minimal intervention winemaking, wild ferment and coarse filtration to capture the essence of the source vineyards and soils.
