THE fertile soil and favourable climate of the Nuy Valley in the Breede River once again inspired winemakers. The results can now be tasted in the newest additions to Nuy Wine Cellar’s popular Inspiration collection: the Nuy Inspiration Chenin Blanc 2023 and the Nuy Inspiration Sauvignon Blanc 2023.
Although best known for its award-winning Muscadel, Nuy Winery is equally loved for its wide range of affordable, high-quality wines. Previous vintages of both the 100% Chenin Blanc and 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Inspiration series have won prestigious accolades, such as Veritas and Terroir awards. According to cellar master Christo Pienaar, the 2023 vintage will deliver remarkably fruity wines for fans of these two varieties.
Pienaar believes the Nuy Inspiration Chenin Blanc 2023 is an excellent example of this versatile cultivar. “Aromas of fresh guava and fruit salad in this Chenin also follow through on the palate,” he says. “Likewise, the Nuy Inspiration Sauvignon Blanc 2023 impresses with the distinctive tropical fruit flavours of this cultivar.”
The Nuy Inspiration Chenin Blanc 2023 is available at R62 per bottle or R372 per case, while the Nuy Inspiration Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is R63 per bottle or R378 per case. The wines are available online. Nuy Wine Cellar offers free delivery in South Africa for online orders over R2 500.
The wines are also available for tasting and purchase at Nuy on the Hill, Nuy Wine Cellar’s popular destination on the R60 route between Worcester and Robertson. Opening hours are Mondays to Fridays from 9am to 5pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 4pm.
The Inspiration range also offers a wide selection of Colombar, Pinotage, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and two popular sparkling wines – a semi-dry Sauvignon Blanc and a slightly sweeter Muscadel. For more information, contact AC Goodger on 023 347 0272 or email [email protected]
