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 Shiraz grapes.

Available: Europe / UK
in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Paarl, Durbanville, Philadelphia and Stellenbosch regions. These vineyards are situated on south- to south-westerly facing slopes, at altitudes of 60 to 80 m above sea level. Grafted onto nematode-resistant rootstock Richter 99, R110 and 101-114, the vines grow under dry-land conditions and receive supplementary irrigation by means of an overhead sprinkler system.
in the cellar : 

The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 24º Balling during February and March. The fruit was crushed and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of two weeks at between 25º and 28ºC. The wine was matured in contact with French and American oak for four months.
