Nitida Wine Cellar
Although not intentionally award driven, there is no denying the status of this tiny family-owned Durbanville cellar. Strategically we are following a very traditional but personalised approach to making wine. In line with our brand honesty, we don’t try to be clever or practice contrived marketing jargon. We pick by hand, allowing us to leave the less perfect bunches for the soil to enrich itself – and before pressing, we again sort the individual grapes by hand. “We completely believe that beautiful wines come from day to day thoughtful management in the vineyards.” Our bottom line is that to be part of the Nitida family requires commitment, passion, and a desire to be involved. Our punch through system, while automated, was designed by the engineer in Bernhard to closely emulate a traditional hand-punch method. Of course, we do use modern technology for pressing and pumping, but always seek out the gentlest methods.
Description
Traditional expectations are effortlessly met by a blend of luscious dark red fruit and cigar box aromas. This cold-climate Cabernet Sauvignon spent 18 months on oak, creating an experience of contrasts with each sip. Add a family stroll through the dense forest & finish with wild mushroom beef wellington topped with a cranberry wine reduction.
Food Pairing
A suggested pairing with Cassia’s coffee braised venison shank.
