NEDERBURG VENTURES EAST

To show just how versatile Nederburg wines are and also to highlight their increasing popularity in the East, a group of Gauteng media and Cape Wine Masters were recently treated to an Asian-inspired culinary feast, created by Emma Chen of the well-known Red Chamber restaurant.

Makoma Manyama of Blaque and Danél Odendaal of De Kat.

The meal was served with Nederburg wines awarded trophies and other top honours during 2013.

Cellar master Razvan Macici was accompanied by Wilhelm Pienaar, who makes Nederburg's reds under his direction, and the newly appointed Natasha Williams, who similarly makes the whites.

The idea for the event was prompted by Nederburg’s stellar performance at the recent 2013 China Perfect Pairing Awards.
