Production Details Our Coronata Integration epitomizes the uniqueness of Durbanville's terroir and reflects the ability of South Africa to produce world class white blends. This wine is comprised of 49% Semillon - fermented in French oak barrels allowing for a richer, fuller, rounder and more fruity wine - and 51% Sauvignon blanc - fermented in stainless steel to retain the freshness and vibrancy. After fermentation the wine is blended and moved back to barrel to mature on the fine lees for another 8 months in seasoned 300L French oak barrels. This ensures a harmonious integration of the two components. Named after the beautiful protea, P. Coronata. For us, the yellow core of the flower represents the Semillon, while the green petals on the outside, signifies the Sauvignon blanc in the blend.

Production Details 49% semillon in 100% new French oak (fermented and aged for 8 weeks) then blended with 51% tank fermented sauvignon blanc. Grapes were from specially earmarked blocks. This is the third year that we have mixed these 2 cultivars and again this year we put the completed blend into barrel for 6 months. This wine has been intentionally designed to evolve with both cultivars, and behaves a bit like a child - showing different aspects of its character at different times - it remains forever interesting. As it ages, the tight sauvignon blanc acids will remain firm but grow gentler while that dash of greenpepper freshness will always speak of its Nitida origins. The semillon character will deepen into a warm honey and become more dominant on the palate. Nitida Coronata is the culmination of many years of working with and observing the characteristics of sauvignon blanc and semillon from our area. Grape blocks were specially chosen in the vineyard for their cultivar character and kept separate throughout the process and ultimately the best barrel of semillon and the best small tank of sauvignon blanc were blended until we found what we considered to be the optimum mix for drinkability now and into the future. Named after a beautiful green and yellow protea, P. coronata, sub-group "bearded sugarbush". The colours of the flower symbolise the blending of the cultivars, while the name is descriptive of the status of the wine.

Production Details 30% semillon from 100% new French oak (fermented and aged for 8 weeks) with 70% tank fermented sauvignon blanc. Grapes were from specially earmarked blocks and, as is the Nitida way with white wines, both grapes and juice were treated with infinite gentleness and love at each stage of the winemaking process. This wine has been intentionally designed to evolve with both cultivars, keeping it forever interesting over time. Expect the complex semillon character to become more evident as it ages, contributing dark honey and fig preserve aspects. The tight sauvignon blanc acids will remain firm but grow gentler while that dash of greenpepper freshness will always speak of its Nitida origins. Nitida Coronata is the culmination of many years of working with and observing the characteristics of sauvignon blanc and semillon from our area. Grape blocks were specially chosen in the vineyard for their cultivar character and kept separate throughout the process and ultimately the best barrel of semillon and the best small tank of sauvignon blanc were blended until we found what we considered to be the optimum mix for drinkability now and into the future. Coronata, Nitida's first sauvignon blanc, semillon blend, is the culmination of many years of intent. Made from small batches selected on character intensity, the wine is purposefully designed to evolve intriguingly over time.
