Niel Joubert Wines
Klein Simonsvlei, the home of Niel Joubert Wines lies on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain, on the outskirts of Paarl in the Western Cape Winelands. A large wine and fruit farm it has spectacular scenery, which includes five hills and ten dams fed from a natural mountain spring. There is abundant water and enough land diversity to accommodate the successful growing of apples, pears, peaches, plums, naartjies, lemons and blueberries, in addition to grapes. It has been owned since 1898 by the Joubert family, horticulturalists and grape growers by training, and is still run hands-on by individual family members, now in the 5th generation. Such was their commitment to quality production, as well as the pride in their achievements, that the wine range was renamed Niel Joubert wines in 1994, in honour of 3rd generation patriarch, father of current owner/general manager Daan
Description
Deep ruby colour. The nose is complex and layered, offering aromas of liquorice, herbs, coffee, plums, blackberry and ripe cherry, followed by subtle nuances of oak spice, leather, tobacco and a distinctive earthiness. Full-bodied, with a big structure and well integrated tannins. The classic earthy and cocoa notes of the grape follow through on the palate, with generous flavours of black fruits, spice and plums on the finish. A wine with great depth, balance and composure.
Food Pairing
Grilled meats such as lamb chops, beef steak or pork ribs, roasted vegetables, game meats, lamb tagine, osso buco, mushroom dishes, Spanish tapas, or dark chocolate desserts.
