Neetlingshof Estate unoaked Chardonnay is balanced and easy drinking Chardonnay that lets the fruitiness shine through without the creaminess that can come from oak ageing. This wine has fresh lemon and lime flavours and lingering notes of pear and white peaches that makes it ideal for all sorts of fish and chicken dishes. This would be great with a meaty fish like Monkfish. Perfect for drinking now, it will gain complexity over the next 3 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.
