Nederburg Winemasters Reserve Pinotage is part of the Nederburg’s core range of red wines which includes Edelrood, Baronne, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Please note that the 2019 vintage does not say “winemasters” on the label. This is the same wine and we understand that Nederburg will be putting it back on the label in due course due to complaints by consumers!
Nederburg has a long wine-making history stretching back over 200 years to 1791 when Phillipus Bernadus Wolvaart was granted ownership of 49 hectares of land, in what is now Paarl, by the Dutch East India Company. He called his new property Nederburgh and immediately set about clearing land and planting vines. By 1808 he has planted over 63,000 vines laying the foundations for what was to become the wine company we know today. Nederburg has changed hands many times through the years but is now owned by the large wine and spirit company, Distell. Nederburg’s core super-premium wines are accommodated in The Winemasters range, named to honour the long-established tradition of winemaking excellence.
The grapes for Nederburg Winemasters Reserve Pinotage are sourced from vineyards located around the Western Cape. The vineyards were planted between 1990 and 1998 and have south to south-westerly aspect. The grapes are hand-harvested, crushed and cool-fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured in contact with American and French oak for a period of 14 months.
Nederburg Winemakers Reserve Pinotage is a deep ruby red colour. The nose generous aromas of succulent blueberry and juicy red fruit with a subtle hint of oak. The palate shows cinnamon spice and ample lively blue and red berry fruit compote in a tasty, succulent package. Poised and energetic with good frame and balance.
Nederburg Winemakers Reserve Pinotage is an excellent food match when served with pasta, pizza, roast leg of lamb, bobotie and even chocolate!
