TASTING NOTES:

Nose: A complex bouquet of black plum, mulberry, black cherry and cassis, underpinned by violet florals and warm toffee or butterscotch notes.

Palate: Medium‑to‑full-bodied, with juicy dark fruit (blueberry compote, black plum) and a savoury edge. Cedar wood, cassis and stewed fruit mingle with silkily integrated tannins.

Finish: Lingering and smooth, with fruit-forward dark berries, a hint of oak spice, and a savoury, slightly smoky undertone.

Product details

Neethlingshof Estate, with roots going back to 1692, is a historic wine farm in Stellenbosch. Their Malbec is grown on Tukulu and Oakleaf soils, on slopes between ~120‑150 m elevation. After fermentation (in stainless steel), the wine is matured for several months in French oak barrels, giving it structure, depth, and nuance.

Cellaring Potential: With proper storage, Neethlingshof Malbec can age gracefully for 6–10 years, developing tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, and forest floor while retaining its fruit core.
