This wine, classic in style, was grown and produced on the historic Meerlust Estate which has been owned by the Myburgh family for eight generations.  It will complement fine food and benefit from further ageing.

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.

This wine was produced in limited quantities from young vines on the historic Meerlust Estate and will benefit from further ageing.

The nose is expressive with powerful cassis, plum, exotic spice and hints of floral aromas.

On the palate the wine is medium-bodied with intense flavours of crushed black fruit, cassis, vanilla and dark chocolate.
