Nederburg Auction 2011 - Sommelier contribution


Wine Selection Process:With sommeliers playing an increasingly influential role in the composition of wine lists around the country, we invited four highly respected palates to participate in the judging of wines submitted for the 2011 Nederburg Auction.

Chosen both for their exposure to wines of excellence from across the world and their focus on matching wines with food, they brought an interesting new perspective to the judging process. Together with our panellists of winemakers and Cape Wine Masters, the fresh insights of Miguel Chan, Neil Grant, Mia Mårtensson and Jörg Pfützner injected new vigour and rigour, helping to enhance this year’s selection criteria.

With a combination of long-established and newer names associated with the auction, we are confident in bringing you a varied and impressive spectrum of the country’s best-of-best and rare wines, offered in a range of lot sizes to cater to mainstream and boutique buyers.
