Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine grapes were sourced from top-performing vineyards situated in the Darling, Stellenbosch and Paarl wine-growing areas. The vines are grown in granite, sandstone and shale soils, resulting in grapes with a higher natural acidity and resulting freshness. Open vineyard canopies bring about greater sunlight penetration of the grape bunches, contributing to a well-balanced acidity, in turn contributing to better tannin structure and fruit expression as well as deeper colour intensity.

The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 23º to 25º Balling from mid-February until the end of March. The fruit was crushed and fermented on the skins in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 25º to 28ºC for two weeks. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in wood for a period of 10 months.

The Winemasters ensemble, comprising a top-quality range of varietal offerings, is named to honour the Paarl winery’s long-established tradition of winemaking excellence. These classically styled, food-friendly wines with abundant fruit flavours, elegance and finesse, treasure the integrity of the grapes in every step of the wine-growing and winemaking journey. Every drop demonstrates an unwavering commitment to world-class vineyard and cellar skills. Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes
