Nederburg is one of South Africa’s most awarded wineries, with a prize-winning pedigree that stems from a culture of innovation and disciplined attention to detail. The wines are richly fruited with bold flavours and structure, and range from exclusive, micro-edition offerings for the connoisseur to wines styled for everyday enjoyment. Their hallmark combination of contemporary, vibrant flavour and classical structure blends the best of both worlds – the New and the Old.

Private Collection is an ultra-premium ensemble of five single varietal wines and a blend, produced from top-performing vineyards, and exclusive to travel retail. Our viticultural and winemaking teams work jointly to identify fruit in each vineyard for this luxury range. Hand-picked grapes that stand out for their fine balance of fruit, acid and sugar, for their exceptional concentration and depth of aromas are reserved for Private Collection wines.

in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Darling, area. The vines, planted between 1996 and 2004, are grown in Tukulu and Oakleaf soils at altitudes ranging between 80m and 120m above sea level. The majority of the grapes grow under dryland conditions, on a vertical trellising system. 

in the cellar : Grapes were harvested by hand at 22º to 23º Balling during February and March. The different vineyard blocks were separately vinified to ensure their unique characteristics are fully expressed. After crushing, the juice was lightly pressed and clarified. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks at 15°C for a period of 10 days. The wine was left on the lees for a short period to ensure a full mid-palate.
