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 Paarl winery continues to earn five-star ratings for its wines in Platter’s South African Wine Guide. In 2011, Nederburg was chosen as Platter’s Winery of the Year, with an unprecedented five wines across the multi-tiered range earning five-star ratings. In addition, cellarmaster Razvan Macici was crowned the 2012 Diners Club Winemaker of the Year and the winery itself announced the South African Producer of the Year at the 2012 International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC). 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.

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 Natasha Williams, who makes the whites.

Foundation Collection: The Foundation range revives a tradition begun by Nederburg’s founder, Philippus Wolvaart, who acquired land in the Paarl Valley in 1791. This laid the foundation for Nederburg as South Africa’s most prized name in wine. The range is softly styled with fresh and fruity aromas, making it perfect for everyday drinking.

in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Paarl, Stellenbosch and Durbanville areas. The vines, situated some 80m to 120m above sea level and planted between 1969 and 1998, are grown in Clovelly, Hutton, Tukulu and Oakleaf soils. The vines are grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99 and 101-14 and vineyard management protocols are followed for optimal grape quality.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at 20° to 22° Balling from mid-January until the end of February.

in the cellar :

The fruit was crushed, pressed and then settled. The clean juice was fermented in temperaturecontrolled stainless steel tanks for a period of three weeks at 15ºC after the grapes were racked off the lees. The different components were fermented separately and only blended once fermentation was completed.

Cellarmaster: Razvan Macici
