Coterie by Wildeberg Chenin Blanc Grenache Blanc 2021

Coterie by Wildeberg Chenin Blanc Grenache Blanc is a brand-new listing for us, and what a show stopping wine it is for under £15! Made by the talented J.D Rossouw from Wildeberg estate, this is a brilliant blend of 65% Chenin Blanc from a 60-year-old Franschhoek vineyard, and 35% Grenache Blanc from Paarl, both naturally fermented and aged for 6 months in 2nd and 3rd fill 600 litre barrels. These two grapes work in harmony together, producing a wine great tension and balance. There's tropical peach, apricot and citrus married with a hint of jasmine and a long, honeyed finish. Rich, yet fresh and textural. Coterie by Wildeberg is a fantastic South African white that will pair well with Thai green curry, creamy pasta dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own!

"Just my kind of white blend, Coterie is a marriage of Semillon with 20% Sauvignon Blanc that sees a little bit of new oak. Balanced, refined and well-judged, as the Wildeberg wines tend to be, this has fennel and nutmeg aromas, toast and grapefruit flavours and a hint of green herbs. Long and satisfying.” - 93 pts, Tim Atkin
