This wine is ready to drink now but can be kept for 5 to 10 years.
Neethlingshof has been following an active biodiversity-oriented strategy in its farming practices. They are moving away from a monoculture of vines, and in the process, they are giving back to nature some of what they took from her in the past. They are actively promoting the return of the original Renosterveld in areas where vines used to grow. At the same time, they leave islands of already-growing indigenous plants or actively plant islands of new Renosterveld in the vineyards.
Soil, climate, and vines coexist at Neethlingshof in perfect harmony. Their role in this relationship is to employ management practices that enhance this relationship and thus ensure top vine performance consistently from year to year. WWF’s Conservation Champions.

Bottle Orientation - Try and lay your wine or spirit on its side when you can.

Light Levels - All wine, Needs to be kept out of direct sunlight and away from any potential UV rays.
Humidity - Long-term storage of wine requires a humidity level between 50-85%, as this will also help keep the cork in a good condition.
Temperature - The best temperature for storing red wine is between 10c & 13c. White between 11c & 15c.
Spirits, Brandies & Cognac
Like wine, spirits (especially barrel-aged spirits) benefit from being kept out of sunlight and are best kept in cool conditions to help prevent evaporation.
Like wine,spirits can be stored in quite a range of humidity – around 50–80% relative humidity – and as long as that humidity is constant, the corks shouldn’t expand and contract, and the seal should last. However, the closer to 80% you get, the more likely corks – and labels – will be affected.
We suggest trying to find a happy medium for both wine and spirits to be stored in the same place, with a relative humidity of around 60–70%.
