O lindo in Portuguese means “The Beautiful”, just like the Nymph reaching for the stars on the etiquette. This wine was crafted from the centuries old Madeiran grape, Verdelho, originating from the Island of Madeira, just off the North-Western Coast of Africa and called Olindo, epitomising the beauty in wine and a fresh, youthful innocence. This wine shows an abundance of fresh melon & perfume on the nose, followed by aromatic bitters and bay leaf on the palate. There is fresh acidity, yet a rich roundness and body.

Jasper Raats is the shareholder, cellar master and managing director of Longridge Wine Estate, as well as partner in Vigneron Consulting, an international consulting business. The consultancy shares valuable knowledge to a select group of clients, particularly focusing on organic and biodynamic viticulture and oenology.

Jasper has established himself as one of the most talented winemakers in South Africa and first gained prominence for wines he created in New Zealand. In 2003, he started working as viticulturist and winemaker at New Zealand’s Clos Henri in the Marlborough region, developing a new vineyard and making wine for French Company, Henri Bourgeois. During this period, he also started Koru Wines, which became one of New Zealand’s top and most expensive wines. His international experience includes working in Burgundy, Pouilly Fume, Sancerre and in Napa and Sonoma under Pierre Seillan, the genial French creator of Vérité Wines.
