Natte Valleij
The historical Natte Valleij Farm situated at the foot of the Simonsberg is not a new cellar it’s just been resting for the last 50 years. Famed for its brandy in years gone by it was one of the largest cellars in the area but sadly winemaking ceased in the 50’s. It was bought by the Milner Family in the late 60’s and for 27 years it bred some of South Africa’s finest racehorses. Winemaker Alexander Milner strives to make wine with minimal interference and pretence merely guiding beautiful grapes into character full wines -preserving the intrinsic link between grape and bottle.
Description
The nose has a very floral, almost musky top note before red cherry, strawberry, herbs and spice. The palate is plump and juicy with moderate acidity and soft tannins, the finish still managing to be relatively savoury.
Food Pairing
Goes well with pork ribs or pork chops, beef carpaccio and cheese.
