Neil Ellis Op Sy Moer 2020
$39.95 / bottle
Release Date August 5, 2023
Vintages #: 30341
750ml bottle
Youthful & Complex

This product is available online as part of the Vintages Online and Flagship Exclusives program. Please feel free to contact us at info@npwines.com if you need any assistance locating stock. Shipping will take approximately 2 weeks from the time the wine is ordered. 

In 1984 Neil Ellis sourced grapes from vineyards not of his own and produced wine in rented cellar space. These grapes were sourced in the Stellenbosch district and meant a lot of nosing around the restrictive quota system prevalent at the time.

Today, the experience and knowledge of the past are applied to modern techniques and technologies for a new generation of winemaking. “Our vision remains to make distinctive, refined wines that are expressive of their terrain and rank amongst South Africa’s finest. A pursuit of quality, nothing less.”- Neil Ellis

Op sy moer translates as “sur lie” or “on the lees”, meaning instead of going their separate ways, the wine and the lees stay in touch for some light flirting. This is a blend of Palomino and Chenin Blanc with a complex nose of citrus zest, quince and sliced apple peel. Fresh and vibrant on the palate with lovely texture and a long creamy finish, thanks to the lees contact. This is a wine that will keep evolving in the glass as with bottle aging. For best results store cork down and 3-5 days before enjoying, turn the bottle cork up to allow the lees to settle.

Pair with Paella or Porkbelly with an apple sauce

Radford Dale Renaissance Chenin Blanc Stellenbosch 2020
$40.00 / bottle
Release Date August 3, 2023
Vintages #: 320853
750ml bottle
Rich & Creamy

This product will be available online as part of the Cellar Collection program. Please feel free to contact us at info@npwines.com if you need any assistance locating stock. Shipping will take approximately 2 weeks from the time the wine is ordered. 

Radford Dale is one of South Africa’s leading independent Wineries. Based on the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch and specializing in producing site-specific, natural wines. Named by Decanter Magazine as the Best Chenin produced in South Africa, this is one of the greatest representations of how Chenin can and should be made.

From some of the oldest bush vines in the Cape, this Chenin is the epitome of dedication and brilliant craftsmanship. Having taken 12 years to perfect, Alex Dale has done a superb job integrating subtle oak aging with the beautiful fruity flavours of Chenin, brought to life by an ever present minerality. The Renaissance
of Chenin Blanc is all about subtlety and finesse. It is driven by its citrus fruit
spectrum and has a wonderful refreshing saltiness. With an aging potential of 10 to 15 years, no wine cellar, nor glass, is complete without it.

 The natural acidity of this Chenin Blanc will work wonders with chicken kiev or seafood cooked in a creamy sauce.

Metzer Montane Chenin Blanc WO Stellenbosch 2018
$55.00 / bottle
Release Date March 2, 2023
Vintages #: 26718
750ml bottle
Aromatic & Bright

This product will be available online as part of the Cellar Collection program. Please feel free to contact us at info@npwines.com if you need any assistance locating stock. Shipping will take approximately 2 weeks from the time the wine is ordered. 

Metzer Family Wines was established in 2006. Their aim is to produce wines that are expressive and individual, employing artisanal, non-interventionist principles in the vinification process. The guiding principle driving this process is that the wine-making must always respect the fruit. Their passion is Chenin blanc - With its versatility and immense range of flavours, it is a variety which lends itself so naturally to minimalist winemaking.
 
The grapes are ethically cultivated, respecting both the environment and human resources. In the cellar, a great emphasis is placed on the minimum handling of fruit, and no mechanical interventions with pumps, filters and reverse osmosis machines are ever used in the process. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts, alive on the grapes and resident in the cellar, lead to long, stable extraction times. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve the "life-forces" from vineyard to bottle.

100% Chenin blanc. A single-vineyard wine from a bush vine parcel planted in 1964. The vineyard is situated on the foothills of the Helderberg mountain.

Fresh and fruity Chenin Blanc goes great with vegetable dishes or salads but this wine also pairs with rich fish or cream-based chicken entrées.

From palomino (51%) & chenin from Piekenierskloof, packed with umani (nuts, seaweed, salt) & ginger. Bone-dry, light & pleasingly tannic. Bunch pressed & naturally fermented in old oak, no sulphur added.

About the Winery

Radford Dale

Radford Dale and The Winery of Good Hope are two brands made by the same people, in the same winery. The team behind these wineries has been an industry leader since the 1990s in chemical free farming, and more recently in low and no sulfur winemaking. They are a founding member of PIWOSA (Premium Independent Wineries of South Africa) which sets ethical, environmental and social uplift standards. Recognizing the social inequality present in South Africa Radford Dale has also set up a trust called Land of Hope to help facilitate bright futures for children, focusing heavily on education.

Alex Dale who owns and manages both projects is an Englishman who grew up spending summers in Burgundy, France. He moved there in his late teens to follow a passion for winemaking and also opened a wine bar in Beaune. He lived in Burgundy for many years before moving to South Africa in 1998, starting Radford Dale with Ben Radford, an Australian. The idea was to produce wines using modern techniques and technology with a healthy respect for tradition, something Alex came to understand well while living in Burgundy.

Wines are made with minimal intervention in order to best express each vineyard’s individuality.

Wine Align - David Lawrason

94 Points

Natural yeast fermented and aged in neutral oak, this Stellenbosch chenin pours bright, fairly deep lemon-gold. It has very generous and detailed nose of peach pie, lemon, subtle honey and billowing florality. It is medium-full bodied, creamy and almost satiny with generous fruit on the palate, some warmth, bitterness and excellent to outstanding length. A touch saline on the finish.

Grapes from a 1964 vineyard on the foothills of the Helderberg. A top note of blossom before lime, green apple and white peach with notes of flinty reduction and wet wool in the background. Extraoridinary fruit concentration and flavour intensity to go with arresting acidity and a pithy finish – not too light despite an alcohol of 12.8% and greatly energetic.
