Wildeberg White, WO Franschhoek 2021

Restrained, delicate aromas with bright citrus fruit offset by savoury, waxy notes. The palate has an impactful attack of taut, stony, highly textural citrus tang and terrific mouthfeel. A subtle, beautifully balanced wine with layers of expression. Voted Paltters Semillon of the year. “9 months in Austrian oak, 50% new, for Franschhoek heirloom variety semillon & venerable 1905 vines in assured 2023. Waxy lemon, earth & smoke, silky breadth & thrilling rapier acidity. Deserves ageing, aerate if broaching now.”
