The wine is named for Nederburg’s founder, Philippus Wolvaart, who bought the farm in 1791 and planted Chenin blanc, amongst other varietals. He had the vision and courage to tame a wilderness and grow great wine. His fingerprints are still on every wine we make.

in the vineyard :
Fruit was sourced from old, low-yielding, dryland bush vines in Darling, Paarl and Durbanville.

in the cellar : One portion of fruit was fermented in second- and third-fill 300-litre and 500-litre barrels. A second component was fermented in stainless-steel tanks, while athird was fermented in very old, large vats and the remainder involved a fermentationtechnique usually reserved for red wines. Called carbonic maceration, whole bunches which are neither crushed nor pressed, are allowed to ferment spontaneously. The resultant wine tends to be light and fruity. This technique was chosen for the freshness it would impart to the wine. After malolactic fermentation, the various components were kept on the lees for nine months prior to final blending and bottling.
