Neethlingshof Estate The Short Story Collection The Six Flowers White Blend has compelling aromas of jasmine and elderflower fused with grapefruit, green apple and sweet oak. A blend of several grape varieties, including Sauvignon, Chenin, Chardonnay and Viognier, the taste is elegant, refined and intricate. There are all sorts of things to find in this wine. Flavours of litchi, grapefruit, kiwi, asparagus and green fig combine to form a full and complex, multi-layered mouth-feel together with a subtle, sweet oakiness, leading to a beautiful long finish.
Neethlingshof Estate has a long and rich tradition of wine making in Stellenbosch, the second oldest and most premier wine producing area of South Africa. The Estate occupies an incredibly privileged site with ideal natural conditions, soils, slopes, altitudes and climate to produce a variety of great wines. All the grapes for the Neethlingshof wines are grown on the estate and all the wine is made, matured and bottled in the cellars of the estate.
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.
