Neethlingshof Estate Malbec 2021

Neethlingshof Estate Malbec is rich and plummy with notes of violet, leather and a touch of smoke. This is a lovely example of South African Malbec that balances classic fruitiness with added complexity. Great to drink now, but it will get better and better with age.

Neethlingshof has been following an active biodiversity orientated strategy in its farming practices. We are moving away from a mono culture of vines and in the process we are giving back to nature some of what we took from her in the past. We are actively promoting the return of the original Renosterveld in areas where vines used to grow. At the same time we leave islands of already growing indigenous plants or actively plant islands of new Renosterveld in the vineyards. Soil, climate and vines co-exist at Neethlingshof in perfect harmony. Our role in this relationship is to employ management practices that enhance this relationship and thus ensure top vine performance consistently from year to year. WWF’s Conservation Champions.
