Gewürztraminer, new dishes on the menu, and a chance to win with Neethlingshof Estate

Neethlingshof
Summer is here! Have a glass of Gewürztraminer, enjoy summer wine pairings and listen to live music at Neethlingshof, Stellenbosch.

Neethlingshof Gewürztraminer always shines bright wherever it goes, however it has done us particularly proud this year, bringing home a string of impressive awards!

This year the Neethlingshof Gewürztraminer 2022 was a DOUBLE GOLD winner at the Veritas Awards, received an outstanding 91 points from Tim Atkin and was the highest scoring Gewürztraminer in the Stellenbosch area at the South African National Terroir Awards.

Gewürztraminer is a white wine grape variety and it is made into powerfully aromatic wines. The majority of Gewürztraminer comes from Alsace, a warm, dry region on France’s border with Germany. This cultivar needs a relatively cool climate to bring out its aromas while keeping alcohol levels down. It is also susceptible to many vine diseases, which means that although this grape is widely known, it is not widely planted in South Africa.

The love for Gewürztraminer runs deep at Neethlingshof and with the ideal soil and the cooling effect from the False Bay breeze, Neethlingshof is one of very few producers in South Africa working with this aromatic grape. The Neethlingshof Gewürztraminer offers an initial sweetness with spicy flavours on the palate.

Litchi and kiwi fruit characters come to the fore and the wine boasts a sophisticated acidity with a wonderfully long finish.
