Golden Orb

A phenomenal food wine, perfectly paired with pork fillet on a bed of creamy mushroom risotto.

After bottling, we also age the wine for another 12 months before releasing it into the market.

A great example of bottle-aged Sauvignon blanc! This is our only single vineyard wine, stainless steel fermented and left on the lees for 12 months prior to bottling. This ensures a full mouthfeel and a roundness that makes this wine particularly attractive.

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.
