Tropical & fresh with aromas with peach and passion fruit, balanced with citrus, loads of lime and grapefruit, and hints of green apple. The palate offers more citrus and tropical flavors with a nice beam of acidity throughout.
The location of this Sauvignon Blanc vineyard experiences a nice warm temperature during the day, which allows the grapes to ripen, providing the bright tones on the nose and the palate. At night, the vineyard cools off dramatically, preserving the natural acidity, and contributing to the freshness of this varietal.
The grapes are hand harvested, and the juice was cold-fermented in neutral oak barrels, which allows the fermentation to 'breathe', an important component for aromatic and texture development. The finished wine was aged in the same barrel for six months prior to bottling.

Dark ruby red in the glass, and good swirl on the nose offers generous aromatics of cassis, black cherry and spice. It's supple body, gives way to red and dark fruit like plum, blueberry compote, dried prune, with anise and light spice flavors on the finish.

A Nils' Venge Cabernet Sauvignon never disappoints! This powerhouse opens with pleasant aromas of evergreen, dark cocoa and coriander that delightfully entice your senses. Its enveloping and bold mouthfeel are outstanding, as deep tannins dance around on the palate, finishing with flavors of baked rhubarb, ground peppercorn and all-spice.
Exceptional
Aromas of bright oak, essence of lilac, toasted brioche and sage delight your senses. Flavors are just as complex with hints of soft melted butter, quince, fig, and a touch of lavender that titillate your taste buds. Its delightful texture is balanced by great acidity, leading to a long satisfying finish. Truly a chardonnay lovers Chardonnay.
