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
Walking through a tropical fruit forest on a summer's day, a wave of zesty lemon, guava and fresh green figs ripples through your senses, while grapefruit leaves a sprinkling of tang on your tongue. Like holding hands, the lingering flavours of dried apples and freshly crushed lavender leaves, are closely entwined.
Food Pairing
This versatile wine pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, our personal favourite being Greek-style squid marinated in lemon, garlic and olive oil, served alongside a crisp green salad and warm pita bread for dipping in the sauces. Whether enjoyed in solitary or with good friends, this wine is sure to over deliver.
