Nederburg's core super-premium wines are accommodated in The Winemaster's Reserve ensemble, named to honour the long-established tradition of winemaking excellence. These classic wines treasure the integrity of our grapes in every step of the wine-growing and winemaking journey. Every glass demonstrates an unwavering commitment to world-class vineyard and cellar skills.

in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in and around the Western Cape. Planted between 1990 and 1998, the vines are grown in decomposed granite, Kroonstad and Swartland soils. The vineyards are situated on south to south-westerly facing slopes, some 80m to 150m above sea level. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstocks Richter 99, 110 and 101-114, the vines receive supplementary irrigation from an overhead sprinkler system.

about the harvest:

The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 23º to 24,5º Balling from the end of January to mid-February.
Yields averaged between 8 and 10 tons per hectare.

in the cellar : The grapes were crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 25ºC to 28ºC for approximately two weeks. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured in contact with American and French oak for a period of 14 months.
