Neethlingshof Estate The Short Story Collection The Owl Post Pinotage is an intricate fusion of aromas of sweet spice, cinnamon, cloves, dry coriander and dark fruit. The taste is intense and complex with flavours of raspberries, plums and cherries with mocha undertones ending with an exquisite lingering finish. Ready to enjoy now, but will mature well over the next 10 years.
For the last 20 years, 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.
