Nestled in the heart of South Africa’s wine country
the vineyards of Stellenbosch are renowned for their exceptional terroir and the cultivation of premium wines. The region’s fertile soil, rich in minerals, combined with an optimal climate featuring warm, sunny days and crisp, breezy nights, created the perfect conditions for ripening Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Mourvèdre: the cultivars that form Nip Slip.
The label of Nip Slip is more than just a visual identifier; it is a work of art created by the renowned, local artist ABE Opperman. Known for his deep philosophical insights and sensitive understanding of human nature, Abe’s artistry on the Nip Slip label captures the essence of sensual elegance and transformative beauty.
