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
Soft as a whispered secret and smooth as silk on skin, this Cabernet Sauvignon brings elegance to the everyday. From the first swirl, it beckons with a cornucopia of fresh red fruits—think ripe cherries, wild strawberries, maybe even a hint of cranberry mischief. On the palate? Pure pleasure. Smoky whispers drift into tobacco and old cigar boxes—comforting, nostalgic, like paging through an old novel in a leather armchair. It’s the kind of wine that makes you pause mid-sentence, smile, and say, “Tastes like more.”
Food Pairing
Best enjoyed with a hearty homemade sun-dried tomato and Fontina cheese lasagna, fireside conversations, and good company that lingers long after the last sip.
