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
Picture a magical sunset over the Okavango Delta, with the sounds of wildlife filling the air. A sip of this Sauvignon blanc is sure to add a splash of colour to end the day in perfection. Tropical aromas of pineapple and guava, along with a slightly sweet Seville Orange note invites you to taste this stunner. On your tongue, these exquisite flavours dance like the rays of the sun, with subtle undertones of white asparagus and fig leaf.
Food Pairing
Pairs best with another bottle, but definitely elevates Hibachi grilled prawns, served with rocket leaves and pomegranate pearls.
