in the vineyard : Nederburg Private Bin wines are sold exclusively on the annual by-invitation-only Nederburg Auction.

This wine is made entirely from Muscat grapes (the first grape variety to be planted in South Africa).

Vineyards
Grapes were sourced from vineyards that grow on the slopes of the Simondium Mountain in Paarl. The vines were 24 years old at the time of picking. The fruit is left to hang on the vines for much longer than usual in order to concentrate the sugars and rich flavours that characterise this wine.

about the harvest: Grapes were stringently selected and harvested by hand at 40º Balling.

in the cellar : The fruit was hand-sorted at the cellar before being soaked in a press and having yeast added to start fermentation on the skins. As the fermentation started, the juice was pressed out and fermentation of the juice continued in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation was stopped once the desired alcohol/sugar balance had been reached.
