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.

Nederburg Eminence Muscadel Noble Late Harvest 1987 (2 x 375ml)

Critics Ratings
Nederburg Eminence Muscadel Noble Late Harvest 1987:
Crystallised baked pineapple core fruit, restrained sugar- rather than honey-sweetness, cinnamon/clove spice elements all held together by its vice-like acid grip. Intense with an extraordinarily long finish. Superb, quite a contrast to my other bottle but equally fine. Has the structure to last 40 years from vintage.
Nederburg Edelkeur Noble Late Harvest 1987:
Nederburg Edelkeur Chenin Blanc Noble Late Harvest 2005:
‘Bright yellow with golden specks with aromas of dried peaches, apricot and honey supported by a spicy background. Perfectly balanced sugar/acid raio with dried fruit and vanilla spice with a lively aftertaste.’ - Winery Notes
2012 Veritas Wine Awards - Bronze Medal
2007 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show - Gold Medal (96/100)
