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
Sitting back and reflecting on 30 years of outstanding Sauvignon Blanc one is left thinking about how much we have changed our winemaking approach during that time. Find yourself transported back to a childhood where most afternoons were spent running races on the dust road just off the old farmhouse kitchen's back door. As nostalgia fills the air, you are brought back to the present day by a delicate balance of green asparagus and freshly cut grass dancing across your palate, making way for gentle hints of citrus and lime cordial. Taking a sip of this wine is like tasting Sauvignon blanc from the past. Filled with Box Tree, Capsicum and minerality. On the palate the greener notes are supported by Granadilla and Guava. A bracing acidity leaves the tongue titillating and wanting another sip.
Food Pairing
Serve alongside a Chicken a la King with extra green peppers for an unforgettable dinner.
