Nederburg Baronne 2023

Pleasingly familiar easy charm and appeal of rich, dark berry fruit and spice on this Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend. Cohesive and rewarding with everything where it should be. Ripe and rounded fruitiness, juicy from lively acidity, well framed and structured by tannin and with a length of flavour that keeps going. A great advert for an enjoyable everyday red.

A wine that would be at home with everything from a hamburger or casual kebab to a rich, tomato and aubergine bake.

Smooth, suave and self-assured, Baronne is one of South Africa’s most iconic, longstanding and top-selling red blends. The brainchild of legendary Nederburg cellarmaster Günter Brözel, this classic wine was launched in 1973. So popular and ubiquitous is Baronne, that for some the name has come to signify red wine itself. After more than 50 years, this noble blend has never changed

in the vineyard : The grapes for this wine were sourced from top-performing vineyards situated across the wine-growing areas of the Western Cape. The viticulturist works hand-in-hand with the grape growers in managing each vineyard block to ensure the best quality fruit for this wine. The different microclimates and soil types associated with each vineyard add to the complexity of the wine.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at 24º Balling during February and March.

in the cellar : The fruit was crushed and fermented on the skins, with selected yeast strains, in temperaturecontrolled stainless-steel tanks at 25ºC to 28ºC. Upon extraction of desired colour and tannins, the wine was drained from the skins, and racked from the lees onto a selection of oak where the wine matured for approximately six months before blending.
