Special blend for Kleine Oranjerie Cabernet Franc Malbec

Wildeberg Winery is located in the Stellenbosch region, known as one of the country's most renowned wine regions. Although relatively new, Wildeberg has quickly built a reputation for producing high-quality, characterful wines. Wildeberg prides itself on its dedication to producing wines that express the unique characteristics of the terroir and grape varieties. The winery takes a meticulous approach to winemaking, paying attention to every detail, from grape selection to vinification and aging. Kleine Oranjerie Cabernet Franc Malbec is a beautiful blend of 2/3 Cabernet Franc and 1/3 Malbec, where both grape varieties blend harmoniously to create a balanced and expressive wine. A unique approach is used in the winemaking of Kleine Oranjerie Cabernet Franc Malbec. Whole bunches of grapes are used, without any crushing, to promote the slow extraction of the flavors. This process optimally preserves the characteristic qualities of the grapes. Another interesting aspect of the winemaking is the use of wild yeasts. Instead of commercial yeasts, the natural yeasts present on the grape skins are used to initiate fermentation. This contributes to the complexity and unique aromas of the wine, giving it its own distinct character.
