Nederburg’s 56HUNDRED range of refreshing, fruity and smooth-drinking wines takes its name from the fifty-six hundred guilders that Philippus Wolvaart used in 1791 to start the farm he was to call Nederburg. He had the vision to recognise the wine-growing potential of this land and the optimism and drive to clear an untamed property and establish a flourishing farm that continues to thrive today, more than two centuries later.

in the cellar : The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 23° to 25° Balling during February and March. The fruit was crushed and fermented on the skins in temperature- controlled stainless-steel tanks at 25°C for 10 to 14 days. The wine was matured in contact with French and American oak for a period of seven months.
