La Nieta 2008

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

“Much softer and gentler than sister property Sierra Cantabria's Amancio with real sweetness and fully dissipated tannins. But less concentration. The pair (both tasted from halves) are certainly well distinguished from each other.” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2021)

“Smoke, toast and mineral notes mingle in this firm red, backing ripe blackberry and licorice flavors. This offers juicy acidity, good focus and a clean, leafy finish.” - Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Apr 2011)
