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.
Our Estate
Waterford Estate is situated in one of the world's most visually arresting pockets of paradise. Located on the rolling slopes of the Helderberg Mountain, leading around to the picturesque Upper Blaauwklippen Valley.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity and conservation also high on the agenda...
Perdeberg Wine Awards
These accolades celebrate more than exceptional wines; they recognise the dedication of our winemaking team, the character of our vineyards, and our unwavering pursuit of excellence. From our acclaimed Chenin Blancs to our bold, vineyard-driven expressions and innovative blends, each award reflects Perdeberg’s commitment to crafting wines of distinction. As we celebrate these achievements in our 85th year in the wine industry, we honour a legacy built on generations of expertise, resilience, and passion for winemaking. We look ahead with pride and confidence, ready to continue sharing the Perdeberg story, one glass at a time.
About Us
First of all, wine is made for conversations. For us, wine is an expression of art, designed to be enjoyed and remembered.
Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI)
The BWI is a pioneering partnership between the South African wine industry and the conservation sector.
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.
Focus
As primary producer volume and control over product from vineyard to glass is important to us.
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.
Cellars
uniWines Vineyards has three cellars; Daschbosch, Groot Eiland and Nuwehoop.
