Nymphomane Bordeaux Blend

Enjoy this wine with red meat, venison and cheese platters.

The varieties are grown in the Hemel - en Aarde Ridge and Valley, in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is “temperate” in style, where the southerly maritime winds blow through the appellations during the summer. These winds in turn bring regular sea mists and overcast conditions to the vineyards and with it more even temperatures. The average summer temperature is 19° C and rainfall, approximately, 750mm per year.

The wine racked into a selection of French Oak Barriques (20% new barrels) for 12 months ageing and maturation. Final blending occurred 1 months prior to bottling and the wine was allowed to develop further in bottle prior to release.

All grapes varieties were harvested separately by hand enjoying cool early morning temperatures. After overnight cold storage they were de-stemmed and crushed into red ferment tanks. Cold maceration occurred for 3 days. The wine was then fermented under controlled temperatures until dry. The skins were then lightly pressed.

Nestled in the picturesque mountains of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley lies our beautiful and bright wine estate, La Vierge. Without boasting too much, we’re proud to be the home of some of the most tantalising wines in the valley – which we aim to continuously achieve here. Thanks to our continued dedication, it’s no wonder that our wines are desired world-wide. So why not add some of our bottles to your collection?
