Why it's worth your time
Large, historic, and the gateway estate for many South African wines sold abroad. The Manor House and the auctions are the heritage; the tastings are solid and accessible.
What we love
The Manor House and the legacy annual auction.
What to know
Nederburg won major international trophies in the 1970s and 1980s for its Cabernet — among the first South African wines to win abroad — and the annual Nederburg Auction remains the Cape wine industry's landmark event.
