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
Very dark in colour, an almost black centre which forewarns you about the concentration. Ripe and generous, opulent, with dense dark fruit, black plums and prunes which handles the oaking, but becoming more meaty, gamy, with dried herbs and spicy liquorice in the flavours. Enough grip at the end to cellar but the full-bodied, fleshy fruit allows earlier drinking.
Food Pairing
Sticky barbeque beef ribs. Herb-roasted lamb chops.
