Nomoya Wines - (South Africa)

Nomoya Wines logo

Nomoya literally means “With spirit” or “Spirited”, which says a lot about the (young) people behind this ambitious wine project. Talia Engelbrecht, the winemaker, personifies joy, enthusiasm and perfection. She provides a young, innovative and experimental drive to the Nomoya team. Together with the more experienced winemaker and marketer, Michela Sfiligoi and agronomist, Atilio Dalpiaz, they form the perfect team that makes Nomoya arguably one of Swartland's most promising wine estates, embodying one of the many wisdoms that Nelson Mandela has taught to South African people “A winner is a dreamer who never gives up!” Their first years were an immediate hit. The wines are made from monocepages of various South-African and European grape varieties. They are fermented separately in vats made of different materials (concrete, stainless steel and wooden barrels) in order to obtain a different character and style each time.

picture of 2021 - Nomoya Wines - Chenin Blanc - Steel Aging - Western Cape - South Africa
Clear pale color with yellow tinges. Fruit driven style with aromas of apricot, peach, ripe pear and a hint of pineapple. This is abundantly confirmed in the mouth. Full, exotic fruit and a mild acidity that provides support and structure. The final is also nice and sunny.

Stellenbosch South Africa
picture of Pinotage
Crimson color. Red berries, cherries, soft spices and an earthy undertone dominate the nose. Medium body where red fruit also manifests itself, accompanied by fine noble tannins and a pleasant acidity that keeps the whole nicely in balance. Wood components come last and lead in the blissfully long finish.

Beautiful, clear, golden yellow color. Exotic aromas of melon, baked apple, pineapple and soft spices. Fine hints of flowers, honey and a hint of caramel. Nice balance between lush fruit and more wood driven aromas like oak and vanilla. In the finish, this balance between ripe fruit and more complex flavors continues. An final that lingers on the pallet for a long time.

picture of Grenache Blanc
Beautiful, bright light yellow color with golden hues. Aromas of green apple, white pear and lime zest accompanied by lightly toasted flavors of fresh wood and vanilla. Despite the wood touch, the wine remains nice and fresh and elegant. In the wonderfully clean finish, the more complex tones come to the fore and determine the taste that lingers in the mouth.

Shiny, ruby red color. A luscious fruit basket with lots of juicy redcurrants, strawberries and blueberries. Hints of pepper, cloves and cardamom give the whole a bit more complexity. A nice smoky touch and fine lively tannins complete the picture. Long, pleasant and slightly spicy finish.

Beautiful, dark ruby red color with purple reflection. Black fruit such as black currants and cherries accompanied by spicy notes and a hint of violet. In the mouth the fruit predominates and it never becomes heavy and tiring. A fine acidity and supple tannins keep the wine lively and interesting. Lingering and tasty final.

Paarl South Africa

Beautiful light, golden yellow color. The nose is lush and exotic. An exciting mix of citrus, green apple, pineapple, floral notes and fine herbs. Wonderfully mineral and exciting in the mouth. Complexity again goes hand in hand with a refreshing acidity that provides a nice balance. The barrel aging gives the wine more depth, culinary properties and Burgundian allures.
