Nederburg Wine is sharing it’s passion for special tastes by unlocking the innermost section of it’s wine cellar for just a short window — a rare treat for the fans. Wine-lovers will be able to sample just four of the prized wines as part of a special gourmet menu offer at The Red Table in Nederburg.
Thanks to this special offer, members of the public will be able to experience some of Nederburg’s choicest Private Bin vintage connoisseur wines. These are limited editions made for exclusive sale at the Nederburg Auction.
The restaurant is the project of well-known Cape Town foodie Andrea Foulkes, of Dish Food & Social. ‘So often we are approached by wine-lovers, keen to taste our specialty auction wines and because stocks are so limited, we haven’t been able to say yes’, explains Melissa Diedericks, Nederburg’s brand manager for South Africa. ‘But with such a significant anniversary, we thought we should make an exception and offer a real treat.’
‘Our auction wines only come under the hammer once a year, so we suggest you taste them whenever the opportunity presents itself’, she concludes.

The two whites and two reds have each been paired with classic dishes with a unique South African expression, for which The Red Table is developing a loyal following. Chef Wilmien Smuts explains, ‘this is a very exciting opportunity for me. It isn’t often that we are able to work with Private Bin vintages. These are wines of such rarity and calibre!’
The polished and perfumed 2008 D212 Viognier will be showcased with the opening course, creamy mussel chowder served with sweet corn stick bread. To highlight the berry and mocha notes of the 2004 R191 Merlot, the wine is paired with a duck leg confit, which will be prepared with four red fruits and served with sweet potato.
The oldest of the four wines, the 2001 R109 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, made by Razvan Macici during his maiden vintage with Nederburg, is matched with springbok denningvleis to echo it’s ripe red fruit and savoury notes. The final course, a quince Bavarois crème topped with a rooibos-infused broth, comes with a glass of the nectar-like 2003 Noble Late Harvest Weisser Riesling.
This extraordinary offer comes ahead of the 40th anniversary of what has become one of the world’s foremost wine auctions. It takes place on the 12th and 13th of September. The lunch offer, which runs from the 1st of  August  to the 15th of September, is available at R320.00 per person, including wines, and is applicable to groups of ten people or more. It has to be pre-booked, with evening bookings by special arrangement. As an added extra, a representative from the winemaking team will be hosting each special meal service.
