An Exquisite Blend of Flavors

Our Namibian Wines - Neuras Winery

Naankuse Wine and Wildlife Estate is an oasis on the edge of the Namibian desert and singular in the world for its combination of wine production and landscape conservation.
N/a'ankuse Foundations has a current production on 3000 bottles per year harvested from the vineyard planted in 1997. In September 2013 the vineyard was expanded to another 3ha on which Shiraz, Mourvedre and Grenache was planted. They will have production on that vineyard in 2016 which will increase the production to 15000 bottles per year. 
Not only do they pride themselves in producing delicious wines at our Namibian winery, they also commit themselves to supporting the estate conservation projects, further to Naankuse's charitable projects,
protecting and conserving threatened carnivores. All profit made from their wines sales and tourism go directly toward these projects.

Wine Tasting Notes:

Everyone has their favorite wine, and so do we! Their wines are an exquisite bled of flavors, spices and soul of Namibia. They provide wine tasting notes on the wine varietals, so you can decide for yourself which you'd like to sample upon your visit.
 2012 Neuras Shiraz: This delicate dry, red wine differs from the traditional smoky or peppery full bodied Shiraz wines. It has a medium red colour and the fruity nose is due to a small  percentage 2013 vintage win in the blend. The soft tannins make it easy drinkable and it will complement past and poultry dishes.
2012 Neuras Red: A unique blend of Shiraz with the traditional Bordeaux cultivars Petit Verdot and Merlot. The cultivars are not blended as wine but pressed together as grapes to enhance the fusion of the grapes. This dry, ruby red wine is complemented by French wood, which add to a more complex mouth feel and tannin structures. It is a more serious wine to pair with game and steak dishes.

I have for those of you who love cooking and like your wines, included a step by step Braai (BBQ) video url of Neuras Winery.
