Il Pinotage Neethlingshof Estate è un vino rosso distintivo che rappresenta l'orgoglio della viticoltura sudafricana. Questo varietale, frutto dell'incrocio tra Pinot Noir e Cinsault, è caratterizzato da un profilo aromatico robusto e complesso. Al primo sorso, si viene accolti da intense note di frutti di bosco, come more e lamponi, che si intrecciano con sentori di cioccolato fondente e un leggero accenno di spezie.

La fermentazione avviene in tini di acciaio inox, seguita da un affinamento in barrique di rovere francese, che conferisce al vino una struttura elegante e tannini setosi. Al palato, il Pinotage si distingue per la sua morbidezza e rotondità, con un finale persistente che invita a un altro sorso. Grazie al suo corpo medio e alla vivace acidità, è un vino versatile che si abbina splendidamente a piatti di carne rossa, spezzatini, o formaggi stagionati.

Il Pinotage Neethlingshof Estate si presta in modo eccellente anche a un invecchiamento moderato, permettendo di esaltare ulteriormente la complessità dei suoi aromi. Ogni bottiglia racconta la storia della regione del Stellenbosch, con il suo clima privilegiato e i terreni ricchi che favoriscono una maturazione ottimale delle uve. Questo vino è una scelta imperdibile per gli amanti del vino che cercano un'esperienza autentica e caratteristica della viticoltura sudafricana.

Winery history
The property has documented origins in 1692, when Willem Barend Lubbe began cultivating the land then known as De Wolwedans. In the following centuries the estate passed through several families and expanded its wine production; the cellar and the manor house were completed in the early 19th century. Beginning in the 2000s the estate launched a biodiversity conservation program and, after various commercial partnerships, the property was acquired by the Grands Chais de France group in 2022.
Production philosophy
Production focused on respect for the land: viticultural practices that promote biodiversity, rational water use, natural pest control and composting of winery residues. Winemaking follows vegan guidelines for many wines, and the company aims to combine historical tradition with environmental responsibility.
