In the vineyard

The Malbec vineyard, established in Tukulu and Oakleaf soils, are located on a westerly slope between 120m and 150m above sea level. The vines were planted in 2003 and are trellised onto a seven-wire vertical hedge system and grafted onto Richter 110 rootstock. They receive supplementary irrigation through a drip system only when necessary.

Food Pairing

A delicious all-rounder that will partner well with red and white meat dishes such as garlic and rosemary roast chicken and Beef Wellington. Also pairs well with vegetarian moussaka or spicy vegetable curry or even soft, pungent cheeses like blue cheese or gorgonzola.

About the Wine Estate

Neethlingshof's focus on biodiversity, production integrity and a reduction in pesticide usage extends to the estate's integrated pest management system. The estate harnesses a natural approach by strategically erecting owl posts throughout the vineyards, which attract these nocturnal birds to their vineyards and naturally restore balance to the estate.
