Natural Sweet MOURVÈDRE 2014
     R295 per bottle

Naudé Wines Natural Sweet Mourvèdre 2014 is a unique South African red wine from the Swartland and Paardeberg, created for wine lovers who enjoy richness and natural sweetness without the heaviness of a traditional fortified or dessert wine.
Many years ago, one of my importers in London asked that I make him a sweet wine that he could pair with the cheese board at his restaurant.

For years I thought he was joking, until his regular insistence demanded action on my part. So I found a block of Mourvèdre in the Swartland, and let the sun go to work. The result is our naturally sweet Mourvèdre. It is rich and full-bodied, but with a strong line of acidity to keep the wine balanced and ensure that it can be enjoyed at any time.

 

Made from 100% Mourvèdre with minimal intervention, this naturally sweet red wine offers concentrated flavours of black cherries, dark plums, dried red berries and crème de cassis, balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, smooth finish with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. With 14% alcohol and 55g/l residual sugar, the wine is rich and full-bodied yet remarkably fresh and refreshing. Awarded 94 points by Decanter, it has been described as lush, opulent, mouthwatering and refreshing, making it an intriguing alternative to Port, fortified wines and conventional dessert wines.

 

The 2014 vintage has excellent longevity and will continue to evolve beautifully over many years, making it an ideal choice for those searching for a naturally sweet red wine, sweet South African wine, South African Mourvèdre, alternative to Port, or a wine to enjoy with cheese, chocolate and dessert.
