Neethlingshof
Much-loved Stellenbosch estate, Neethlingshof, has just released its first wine of the 2011 vintage, a deliciously refreshing Sauvignon Blanc that just begs to be opened and savoured with delicious autumn dishes. Winemaker De Wet Viljoen is not exaggerating when he says all the promises of tropical fruits, green figs and fresh-cut grass on the nose follow through on the palate that is crisp and lively. It is also delectably mouth filling.

Twist open that screw cap and from the first waft you’ll be transported along the fragrant stone pine avenue that leads to the heart of Neethlingshof’s beautiful farm, where owl posts and islands of fynbos amongst the vineyards tell you this is a winery that takes sustainability and protection of its abundant biodiversity very seriously indeed.
Pair with salmon, prawns, chicken, duck or quail prepared or sip solo. A real taste treat, it is available from selected stockists nationwide for around R45 a 750ml bottle.
