Nederburg is South Africa's favourite name in wine, loved for a delicious combination of fruit and finesse. Established in 1791, near Paarl, Nederburg is South Africa's most awarded winery and the popular choice of critics and regular winelovers. We leave most of the work to nature but in the cellar we coax the very best from our fruit, blending contemporary styling with classic flair to create blance, fine flavour and refreshment.

Fat Bastard Merlot is sourced from select vineyards throughout the Languedoc-Roussillon.  The area is known for its stony soil, which naturally limits yields and lends a fresh, fruit-forward character and mature tannins to the final wine.  

Deep, dark-red in colour with elegant notes of plum and black cherry followed by subtle nuances of caraway and black pepper.  On the palate, it is fresh, full and juicy with solid mad palate weight and an expansive, round finish.

This Merlot truly shines when enjoyed with grilled steaks, sausages and burgers with Havarti cheese.  Ideal for your next barbecue!

The farm was named in 1704 when the settlers returned from an arduous journey to find their livestock gone and their home burnt down - hence the name Allesverloren meaning "all is lost". Present Owner, Danie Malan is the fifth generation on the farm, continuing the winemaking tradition of his forefathers who acquired the farm in 1872.
