Wonderful Wildeberg
Wildeberg Wines have become a key partner for Talking Wines over recent years. We have followed the project from the purchase of the property through the clearing of the site, planting of vineyards and working in partnership with local growers to produce some outstanding wines.
The Wildeberg farm is located on the edge of the town of Franschhoek, an hour's drive north of Cape Town where French Huguenots settled in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The farm includes a rugged mountain with rare fynbos species, many snakes and other roaming wild animals.
As well as the vineyard on the farm, equally important is the relationship with local grape growers which winemaker JD Rossouw has developed. His family has a long history of winemaking and JD has managed to secure some fantastic fruit from special sites around the Western Cape. The quality of the grapes along with the skill of the winemaking team has produced some outstanding wines.
Like many of the best winemakers, JD's skill is to do as little as possible to the wine to allow the natural character of the wine to develop. This gentle, expressive style of wine has been a real hit with our customers and we have expanded our portfolio of their wines including the Wild House, Coterie and Wildeberg ranges.
The company is part-owned by a UK company and Robin Naylor has overseen the project from its inception, developing the philosophy along with JD. Robin is a long time friend of Talking Wines and we are delighted he is able to join us to share his experience of Wildeberg on Friday 27th September. We have a few tickets remaining if you would like to join us.
