Colour: Clear with specs of green and gold.
Aroma: Fresh green notes layered with floral, peach and spice tones.
Flavour: A big and bold wine. Creamy textured with a core of racy acidy. An amalgam of herbaceous, floral and wood characters. When well-chilled the wine presents a crisp sauvignon blanc profile but when slightly chilled the creamy oak vanillas come to the fore, with its spice and tannin characters giving it enough body and grip to match well with red meat dishes.
Ingenuity is Nederburg's platform for innovation and houses exciting new blends made from lesser-known varietals or those combined in interesting new ways.
Multi-layered dishes with a complexity of flavours, such as quail, duck, guinea fowl, rabbit, free range chicken or top-grade beef, prepared with spice, fruit and citrus seasoning.
