Our Philosophy
Our viticulturist and winemaker are passionately involved in maintaining the unique terroir of our vineyards nestled on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain.
The Pebbles Story
The Pebbles Project was established in 2004 to offer support to children with special educational needs, particularly those whose lives are affected by alcohol in some way, in the Western Cape of South Africa.
About La Motte
La Motte was acquired in 1970 by the late Dr. Anton Rupert, an internationally respected industrialist who established a global business empire, and was held in high regard as a committed conservationist. Dr. Rupert and his art-devoted wife Huberte also played an immense role in the preservation of art.
Vineyards and Winemaking
The Pentz family identified the best 120 Ha of well drained clay soils to plant 122 Ha of wine grapes.
Fairtrade
Fairtrade was introduced to ensure a better deal for growers and small-scale producers in developing countries. These people have often found that they are unable to obtain a fair price for their products because of their remoteness or size of operation.
Cellars
uniWines Vineyards has three cellars; Daschbosch, Groot Eiland and Nuwehoop.
The History of Nederburg Wine Estate
Our history dates back to 1791, when German immigrant Philippus Wolvaart acquired 49 hectares of land in the Paarl Valley. He named his property Nederburgh, in honour of the VOC commissioner, Sebastian Cornelis Nederburgh. Later, the ‘h’ was dropped from the spelling of the farm’s name and it became Nederburg as it is known today.
Focus
As primary producer volume and control over product from vineyard to glass is important to us.
Cellar and Vineyards
The farm is situated in a narrow valley in the Kleinriver Mountains, southernmost mountain range in Africa.
About Chenin Blanc
It's a little known fact, but a fact all the same, that South African Chenin Blanc wines are among the world's finest. It's also a fact that there is a group of visionary South African wine producers who are, not only fast spreading the word, but also continually providing hard evidence by producing Chenin Blanc wines of increasingly remarkable quality.
