Nederberg Wines honours wine farm history

To commemorate the 225-year-old legacy of the winery's founder, Phillipus Wolvaart; Nederburg Wines held a special vine planting event earlier this month. Guided by Nederburg's viticulturist, Bennie Liebenberg and farm manager, Bertie Faure, guests braved the intense Paarl summer heat and got their hands dirty and helped plant the cultivar, Chambourcin, on a block that's been resting for three years to improve the decomposed granite soil.
