Nederburg’s history, dating back to 1791, is remarkable for the pioneering and visionary ideals of those associated with the winery. And today, Nederburg is South Africa’s most widely awarded name in wine. Phillipus Wolvaart established the 49 hectares farm of Paarl Valley, and in just six years, the land was completely fruitful. Through revolutionary techniques such as cold fermentation, Johann Graue, who took ownership in 1937, established Nederburg as the leading producer of quality South African wines.

During the late 1930’s, Nederburg’s owner, Johann Graue, pioneered the philosophy that a great wine starts in the vineyard and evolves through every step of the winemaking process. To this day, nothing has changed in the company’s approach. From the state-of-the-art Ernita Nursery, where great care is taken in marrying fruit-carrying vines and rootstock, to the ideal matching of terroir and varietal, Nederburg’s vineyards yield outstanding quality fruit, season after season.

Today, Nederburg’s tradition continues with wines that people love to drink. Grape varieties are matched with location to yield fine fruit flavors. Nederburg’s viticulturists, winegrowers and winemakers all work together with passion, patience and precision to nurture the vines and ensure the grapes are picked at the ideal time for vinification.

Nederburg is South Africa’s leading and most decorated name in wine, winner of more international and domestic awards than any other in the country. We were recently judged the most successful producer on the SA Trophy Wine Show. The winery itself was an inaugural winner of the International Wine Tourism Award for Cape Town, presented by the Great Wine Capitals Global Network. The brand’s universal appeal lies in Nederburg’s ability to make classically structured wines with fruit-rich flavours. Our hallmark combination of finesse and fruit is evident in all our wines.

Our winery is supported by an extensive investment in superior plant material, propagated at a dedicated nursery, Ernita, near Wellington; long-standing relationships with supplier growers; ongoing viticultural research; and a cellar that comfortably accommodates production for growth markets, as well as specialist, connoisseur wines. Razvan Macici heads the team as Nederburg cellarmaster. He is supported by two winemakers who work closely under his direction. They are Wilhelm Pienaar, who produces the red wines and TariroMasayiti, who makes the whites.
