Nederburg, one of the oldest wine cellars in the Cape Winelands, has won the Bidvest Top SA Producer Trophy at the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards 2022.
Now in its 26th year, it’s regarded as Africa’s largest wine and spirits competition.
The multiple award-winning Paarl cellar also walked away with the Jetcraft Cabernet Sauvignon Trophy, awarded for its Private Bin R163 Cabernet Sauvignon 2009.
A Michelangelo trophy wine represents both the top 1,1% of all entries received, as well as best in class.
Nederburg has also earned 13 prestigious Michelangelo platinum, double gold and gold medals.
The platinum, applicable to wines that receive 96 points or more out of 100, went to Nederburg’s The Winemasters Noble Late Harvest 2021, made from Muscat de Frontignan and Chenin blanc grapes affected by botrytis cinerea.
Four Nederburg wines achieved double gold, or at least 93 points each, including its Private Bin R163 Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, The Manor House Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Heritage Heroes The Anchor Man Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2021 and The Winemasters Sauvignon Blanc 2022.
Nederburg has also been awarded eight gold medals for wines scoring at least 89 points.
These are the Private Bin Two Centuries Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Private Bin Two Centuries Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Private Bin R163 Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, Private Bin R163 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, The Winemasters Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, Heritage Heroes The Brew Master Bordeaux-style red blend 2018, The Winemasters Shiraz 2020, and The Manor House Chardonnay 2021.
