CONGRATS TO NEDERBURG FROM US.
Nederburg’s first new-look and new-styled top-tier wine to reach the market has earned a five-star rating in the 2021 edition of the Platter’s South African Wine Guide. The ultra-premium wine, Private Bin Two Centuries Cabernet Sauvignon, is from the celebrated 2017 vintage. It will be released later this month (November).
Says winery MD Nïel Groenewald: “ThePlatter’s panel’s affirmation of our revised styling is very welcome news. Cabernet Sauvignon is an especially important grape for us. We have a long-standing and award-winning history with the variety. It is a major focus for our cellar.
“With this, our most recent iteration of the wine, it was essential that we maintain a measure of continuity - call it our recognisable signature. At the same time, though, we wanted to give expression to some of our new thinking about wine, as well as to the benefits of our stepped-up investment in precision farming and enhanced cellar technology.
“While you can pick up a stylistic link to earlier vintages, I think wine lovers will discover a greater level of fruit purity and concentration in the 2017 wine, but within a lither, more supple frame. Certainly, the hallmark balance between fruit, acidity, tannins, palate weight and length are there but delivered with greater refinement.”
