Tasting notes
Gracious and at the same time refined red wine in a single-grape blend from various vineyards. Soft pomegranate-red colour with deep sparkle. Rich, lucious nose of dried flowers and wild shrubbery. Rich flavour palette with soft, balanced texture and tannins. Mineral undertone in the finale. Wonderful wine to enjoy on its own or with braised root vegetables, filled red peppers, delicate game birds and pasta with truffle or mushrooms. To be served at 16°C.
Wine Story
Naudé Wines is the culmination of a journey that began more than 30 years ago. Since that first harvest, I’ve worked all over the world, hoping to craft wines that tell a story of time and place.
I love the diversity we have in South Africa. Not just of the people, but the soils, the microclimates, and the wine varietals that thrive under their own unique conditions. I’m fortunate to have been introduced to a few of these vineyards, and work with some of the wonderful grapes that they produce, many of these from certified old vines.
The grapes on these vines are storied, complex and unique. Each year they represent something different – whatever nature allows them – and with any luck, I don’t get in the way.
