Production
The grapes of the different cultivars were vinified separately. After sorting at the cellar, the fruit was fermented on the skins in open fermenters and stainless steel tanks. Extended skin contact was allowed after alcoholic fermentation. The wine was matured for 18 months in 300-litre first-, second-, and third- fill French oak barrels.
Winery
This limited-edition gourmet range celebrates the story of Nederburg�۪s Heritage Heroes. Their story began in 1791, when Philippus Wolvaart - The Anchorman, tamed the wilderness and established the Nederburg farm. Following in his footsteps, Johann Graue - The Brewmaster, then acquired the land in 1937. In preparation to succeed him, he trained his beloved son, The Young Airhawk. It was a sad day when his son passed in a light airplane crash. With her grace and elegance, his mother, The Beautiful Lady, revived the spirit of the winery. Unaware that he was to be the last piece of the Heritage Heroes puzzle; G�_nter Br̦tzel - The Motorcycle Marvel, then put foot on African soil. Soon he was promoted to Cellar Master and the sound of his BSA 1954 motorbike emanated from the vineyards for years to come.
