Overhyped and Underwhelming: A Disappointing Visit to Nabygelegen
I'm not usually one to write scathing reviews, but my recent visit to Nabygelegen was a major letdown. As a self-proclaimed wine enthusiast, I was excited to try their supposedly 'high-quality' wines. Unfortunately, the experience fell flat from the start. The Cabernet Sauvignon, which I was looking forward to the most, tasted more like a generic, mass-produced wine than a carefully crafted, full-bodied masterpiece. The flavors of forest fruits and blackcurrants were barely detectable, and the tones of cigar box and leather were completely absent. The Chenin Blanc was slightly better, but the tropical flavors and hints of vanilla were overpowered by an unpleasant acidity. What really got my goat, though, was the lack of environmental soundness in their practices. Despite their claims of being eco-friendly, I noticed a significant amount of waste and inefficient water usage during my tour. It's disappointing to see a wine estate that prioritizes profits over sustainability. The recognition they received for their Sauvignon Blanc at the South African National wine show in 2023 must have been a fluke, because the wine I tasted was nothing special. Unless they revamp their winemaking techniques and actually start practicing what they preach, I wouldn't recommend Nabygelegen to anyone. Save your money and visit a real, eco-friendly wine estate that actually cares about the environment and produces exceptional wines.
