The Nederburg philosophy of excellence has resulted in more national and international wards going to Nederburg wines than to any other South African wine. Since 1937, Nederburg has been at the heart of the Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery and the Nederburg farmhouse is a classic example of Cape Dutch architecture. Located at the centre of their estate in Paarl, some 60 km northeast of Cape Town, while today the winemaking is taken to new heights under the direction of Razvan Macici, a Romanian from a wine growing family. South Africa's most popular glass of fizz. A crisply sophisticated sparkling blend of Chenin Blanc, Cape Riesling and Sauvignon blanc. Great with brunch, oysters and other seafoods. (12 x 75 cl)

The grapes are grown in decomposed granite on slopes suiting the cultivar, ranging in altitudes at between 50 m and 150 m above sea level. Winemaking The grapes were harvested by hand between 18° and 19° Balling during mid-February. They were crushed, receiving four to six hours’ skin contact, and then cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for two to three weeks at 13° C, before being left on the skins for a day.

Distell TWO OCEANS Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Western Cape South Africa
Description: Two Oceans wine takes its name from the two great oceans that converge at the Cape, the warm Indian and the bracingly cold Atlantic. The Cape’s coastal region enjoys a temperate climate, cooled by daytime maritime breezes from both oceans and a drop in night-time temperatures that allow grapes to ripen slowly – ensuring greater flavour. The Grapes are sourced from Stellenbosch, known as one of the finest wine-growing areas in the world, Wellington, Worcester as well as cooler-climate areas for pure concentration of flavour. Styled for easy drinking, the Two Oceans range of varietal and blended whites and reds shows how it is possible to fuse character with elegance to create well-proportioned wines that offer pure palate pleasure. The grapes were harvested by hand and machine, with each vineyard block being separately vinified. In each case, the juice was fermented at between 24° and 26° C. The juice was left on the skins for five days for maximum colour extraction. The skins were then removed, pressed and the pressed juice added back and then fermentation was completed. After malolactic fermentation the wine was blended in a ratio of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon to 35% Merlot. Winemaker Coenie Snyman says of this medium-bodied, smooth and very approachable wine made for early enjoyment that its nose offers ripe strawberry and cherry aromas carried through on the palate. (12 x 75 cl)
