Nelson Family Vineyards Special Late Harvest 2018 Halves
South Africa
Coastal Region
Paarl
Nelson Estate is nestled between the nearby Paarl and Paardeberg mountains, in this corner of the Western Cape. The local granite soil gives a flinty minerality to this wine, while the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean provides cooling sea breezes preserving crisp acidity in the grapes. Winemaker Lisha Nelson makes this late harvest Chenin Blanc in tiny quantities.

NELSON ESTATE
Alan Nelson’s childhood dream was to own a wine estate, and he has worked tirelessly to attain it.
South Africa is one of the world’s most exciting wine-producing regions today. Post-Apartheid, the South African wine industry is in renaissance, supported by investment and a dynamic new generation of winemakers keen to push quality boundaries and develop new vineyards and wine styles. Yet South Africa’s wine production dates back to the 1600s.
