It’s almost that time of the year again when Nederburg’s team of viticulture and winemaking experts face the 2020 wine grape harvest head-on. The most special time of the year in the wine industry, the annual harvest is a celebration of thanksgiving for nature’s incredible bounty. 

Make your way to Nederburg in Paarl on Black Friday (and Saturday) to stock up on some of the winery’s choicest selections. Versatility is the name of the game, with offers on current and older vintages like you’ve never seen before.

Nederburg achieved a trove of awards for its famous noble late harvest wines on local and international competition platforms during 2019, an achievement that underscores the winery’s enviable reputation for this style of wine, built over close to five decades.

Highlighting the remarkable longevity of Nederburg’s wines, the Paarl winery came away with two double gold and four gold medals for a selection of its museum class wines (10 years and older), at the recent Veritas Awards. 

Nederburg Wines and Qhubeka Charity recently held a bicycle-building event at Eyethu Lifestyle Centre in Soweto, to spread a message of hope and highlight their ongoing commitment to help change lives in South Africa.
