The Neethlingshof wine estate in Stellenbosch has hectares of vineyards with 13 different types of soil, of which a large part is used exclusively for the preservation and replanting of flora and fauna.
Under the direction of winemaker De Wet Viljoen, Neethlingshof produces unique wines from high-quality and slowly matured grapes that embody the character of the winery and the respective terroir. The first-class Neethlingshof red wines convince with a great harmony of fine oak notes and soft tannins. The Neethlingshof Pinotage sparkles ruby red in the glass and offers a full-bodied mouthfeel and extremely soft and integrated tannins.
In addition to great Pinotage wines, the estate produces outstanding wines from the grape varieties Merlot , Cabernet Sauvignon , Shiraz , Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. The Neethlingshof Merlot is also an absolute all-rounder as a food companion with its subtle oak notes and has already received several awards.
The best grapes of each vintage are used for the famous wines from the Short Story Collection - each of the unique wines tells its very own story. The Short Story Collection Owl Post Pinotage refers to the sustainable viticulture of the winemakers, who preferred to settle owls on their estate instead of pesticides in order to control pests. These exclusive and limited creations of the Neethlingshof Short Story Collection are made from hand-picked grapes and represent the oldest and best sites of the estate.
