Private Bin R172 Pinotage, the oldest Nederburg wine on show from its vintage vault.
Nederburg invites wine lovers to visit its beautiful farm in Paarl on 23-24 August, to personally choose and purchase from an exciting selection of rare vintage and limited-release wines, when it opens its "vintage vault" to the public.
"This is a rare opportunity to get your hands on some exceptional vintages of Nederburg, including a few vertical and horizontal offerings, at very fair prices – a perfect chance for wine drinkers and connoisseurs to add an integral part of South African wine heritage to their private collections," says Niël Groenewald, managing director of Nederburg.
Highlighting the remarkable longevity of Nederburg wines and the equally appealing collectability of its newer vintages, the selection totals 57 iconic wines, from the award-winning Private Bin, Two Centuries, Heritage Heroes, Ingenuity and The Winemasters collections.
Own ten vintages of Nederburg's Ingenuity White (a blend of eight white wine cultivars), spanning 2007 to 2016, seven of which rated five stars by Platter's South African Wine Guide.
Or add the debut vintages of the Heritage Heroes wines to your wine collection. These wines are all individually named to honour some iconic personalities who have played their part in shaping Nederburg's pedigree as one of South Africa's most admired wineries.
"I also encourage potential buyers to strongly consider our Heritage Heroes The Anchorman Chenin Blanc 2016. This wine made us extremely proud when it was awarded a platinum medal for the best South African Chenin blanc at the 2017 Decanter World Wine Awards," Groenewald explains.
The oldest Nederburg wine to feature is the 2004 vintage of its very exclusive Private Bin R172 Pinotage.
You will get to taste the majority of the wines on offer before you purchase.
The Red Table restaurant, situated in Nederburg's historic manor house, will be serving delicious dishes from its à la carte menu on both days of the special wine sale, between 12:00 and 16:00.
