Background
Tradition and talent blend with passion, precision and patience at Nederburg, where classically structured wines are made with vibrant fruit flavours. Nederburg’s hallmark combination of fruit and finesse continues to be rewarded around the world. The winery was recently chosen as Winery of the Year by Platter's South African Wine Guide, with an unprecedented five of its wines across the multi-tiered range earning five-star ratings in the 2011 edition. Nederburg was also awarded the regional trophy at the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards for the best South African sweet white wine retailing for above £10. It produced one of the highest-scoring wines on the 2011 Muscats du Monde and earned one of the top scores on the 2011 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show to take the trophy for the best unfortified dessert wine. These are just some of the many accolades earned by Nederburg where hand-crafted, micro-cuvées for specialist winelovers and beautifully balanced and accessible wines for everyday enjoyment are made with equal commitment.

Nederburg is exported to key global markets in the UK, Europe and North America, where it is steadily building a presence and reputation for classically styled wines with fruit-rich flavours. Its growing success as a global lifestyle brand is the result of an extensive infrastructure that includes ongoing viticultural research, implementation of pioneering vineyard practices, sourcing of top-quality grapes; major investment in cellar facilities and an international marketing and distribution network.

Razvan Macici heads the team as Nederburg cellarmaster. He is supported by two winemakers who work closely under his direction. They are Wilhelm Pienaar, who produces the red wines and Tariro Masayiti, who makes the whites.

Foundation Collection
Our starting point is that fine wines are born in the vineyards. Superior vines, well sited and nurtured to coax the best from them, create the foundation for wines of distinction. Made for everyday enjoyment, they deliver a clear and accessible pleasure of fruit and flavour, backed by more than two centuries of skill, tradition and heritage.

This wine is made entirely from Chenin blanc grapes.

Vineyards
The grapes were sourced from trellised and bush vines from the Paarl, Robertson and Worcester areas. The vines, planted between 1980 and 1995, grow in sandy, decomposed granite and alluvial soils, situated at altitudes of 50m to 100m above sea level. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstocks Richter 99 and 101 - 14, some received supplementary irrigation from a micro-irrigation system while others grow under dryland conditions.
 
about the harvest
The grapes were harvested by hand at 21° to 22.5° Balling during February.
 
in the cellar
The fruit was crushed and gently pressed to extract excellent quality juice. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks for two weeks at 15° C.
