About this Item
Nederburg is considered by many to be South Africa’s most decorated name in wine and their achievements and accolades can match up to any other estate in the nation. Established in 1791 by Philippus Wolvaart and his wife, Margaretha, they laid the foundations for future success on a farm situated between the Berg and Palmiet rivers. Amongst their many accolades, highlights include Platter’s guide awarding them winery of the year in 2011 and 2017 and placing 36th in the ‘most admired wine brand in the world’ by the esteemed Drinks International in 2017.

Critics Ratings
'A blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Amazing consistency across quite a few bottles. Super fresh, touch of mint, bright pasture notes, red fruit. Lots of flavour and depth. Frankly it’s in an amazing shape, with well-balanced acidity and fine tannins. Composed and structure for longer ageing.' - Roland Peens, 95/100 (Mar 2023)
'Bright red colour with a tiny edge of brown. Lots of red fruit comes through on the nose, displaying a delightful freshness on both nose and palate. The youthfulness of this wine is impressive. An elegant and soft mouthfeel carries the red fruit with a touch of sweetness from the varieties forward. Long lasting flavours on the palate with still a good portion of tannin to balance the wine perfectly and let it mature for a few more years. Cab (50) Shiraz (50)' - Bennie Howard CWM (Mar 2023)
