Soft and approachable premium wines inspired by more than two centuries of winemaking begun by Nederburg's founder, Philippus Wolvaart, who bought his land in Paarl in 1791. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes.

Available: UK
in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Paarl, Philadelphia and Stellenbosch areas. The vineyards are situated on south to south-westerly facing slopes at altitudes of between 60m and 80m above sea level. The vines, grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstocks Richter 99, R110 and 101-114, received supplementary irrigation by means of an overhead sprinkler system.
in the cellar : 

The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 22 to 23º Balling during February and March. After pressing the juice was fermented in second- and third-fill barrels and kept in maturation for a period of six months before blending. The Chardonnay and Viognier grapes were separately vinified.
