Neethlingshof Wine Estate
Soil, climate and vines co-exist in perfect harmony at Neethlingshof. The Tukulu, Vilafonte and Oakleaf soils occurring on the Estate are ideal for viticulture. Vineyard altitude varies from 65 m to 282 m above sea level and the predominant aspects are South and South-west facing. Sea breezes from the Atla ntic Ocean cool the vineyards during hot summer days and the resultant slow ripening of the grapes leads to optimal flavours and ripe tannins in the wine.
From 2003 Neethlingshof intensified the biodiversity-orientated strategy in farming practices and established a much-improved balance between farming and nature. Of the farm's 277 ha, 100 ha are today planted to vines, leaving the remaining 64% of its total land for nature conservation. As a WWF Conservation Champion Neethlingshofs philosophy, extended through every aspect of winemaking and farming on the Estate, is guided by the respect we have and show towards the Estate's natural flora and fauna.
