Wildeberg The Tea Leaf 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Franschhoek
R155
‘Almost ridiculously cheap for an Old Vine Project white, this is a well-framed, naturally fermented assemblage of Chenin Blanc with 20% Grenache Gris and Marsanne. Citrus and yellow apple flavours are embellished by some skin tannin bitterness and notes of aniseed and wet stones. 2023-27’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 90/100
‘On the nose there are notes of ripe peach, salted butter, and macadamia. The palate combines firm, high-key fruit with a gentle, sandy texture true to the source vineyards’ soil leading to a savoury, lightly honeyed finish. This is a deeply satisfying wine made from a blend of high quality bush vine fruit.’ – Winemaker

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