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 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.
