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.

Boasting some of the highest planted vines in the Cape Winelands, Chamonix has around 50 hectares under vineyard.
Vineyards and Winemaking

Our History

Beethoven presented to the world his Fifth and Sixth Symphonies and America banned the importation of slaves from Africa.
