Nederburg’s core super-premium wines are accommodated in The Winemaster’s Reserve ensemble, named to honour the long-established tradition of winemaking excellence. The Edelrood is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (63%) and Merlot (37%). Grapes were sourced from bush vines and trellised vineyards in Paarl, Darling and Stellenbosch. Planted between 1990 and 1998 the vines grow on south-westerly slopes situated at between 50 m and 150 m above sea level, in soils originating from decomposed granite. The wine was matured in a combination of new, second and third-fill barrels for a period of 8 to 12 months. Is is ruby red in colour. The nose is reminiscent of ripe strawberries and cherries with mocha and vanilla in the background. The palate is soft and juicy, laced with ripe fruit, spicy vanilla and soft tannins. Winemaker, Wim Truter, suggests serving this wine with oxtail, casseroles, red meat, game, pizza and pasta
