The Bountiful Terroir of the Coastal Region

The varied soils, from granite to shale, grant the wine its characteristic complexity and minerality, while the ocean breezes ensure the preservation of fresh acidity.
Chenin Blanc: South Africa’s Signature
Embrace the varietal that South Africa claims as its own—the Chenin Blanc. Also known locally as “Steen,” this grape has been an integral part of South African viticulture since the 17th century. Celebrated for its versatility, the Chenin Blanc used in Wild House wines comes from age-old bush vines, offering concentrated flavors and outstanding quality.
Winemaking Excellence
- Fermentation: The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, preserving the varietal’s vibrant fruit aromas and purity.
- Lees Contact: A vital component, lees contact for nine months imparts a creamy texture and enhances complexity.
- No Oak Influence: Being unoaked ensures that the wine’s natural flavors are unhindered, resulting in a crisp, authentic taste.

Expect a symphony of flavors with each pour—ripe peach and tropical notes taking center stage, alongside citrus and green apple, followed by subtle floral and honeyed undertones. The palate is greeted by a medium body with crisp, lively acidity, making it refreshingly zesty with a lasting finish.
