About this Item

1973 Cabernet Cabernet Sauvignon
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

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.

This wine has been checked and re-corked by Amorim cork under supervision of auction curator Higgo Jacobs, assuring provenance, quality and long life. Seal code DE-453737 & rc-777717 can be traced on Amorim Recorking Directory

Provenance

The Distell Tabernacle - Stellenbosch

Critics Ratings

'Slightly murky at first, opening in the glass to a vibrant red. Cassis and pencil shavings, really pure Cabernet Sauvignon notes. Some savoury farmyard notes add complexity. The palate is firm, with acid structure and hard tannins. It should age forever!' - Roland Peens, 92/100 (Mar 2023)
