2011 Nederburg The Anchorman (750 ml) x 3 bottles - Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
This wine is named after Nederburg's founder, Philippus Wolvaart, who bought the farm in 1791 and planted Chenin Blanc, amongst other varietals and forms part of their Nederburg Heritage Heroes range. The Heritage Heroes range is a selection of limited-edition, gourmet wines available exclusively through specialty wine shops and restaurants. Each of the wines is individually named and has been made to honour some of the major figures in South African winemaking who have been a source of inspiration to Nederburg. The Anchorman is a gorgeously golden, wooded Chenin Blanc. Winemaker Razvan Macici described it as a “most interesting and expressive wine that is a blend of very differently vinifed components and that succeeds in combining a bracing freshness with complexity. One portion was fermented in second- and third-fill 300 litre and 500 litre barrels. A second component was fermented in stainless steel tanks, while a third was fermented in very old, large vats and the remainder involved a fermentation technique usually reserved for red wines. Called carbonic maceration, it allows whole bunches, neither crushed nor pressed, to ferment spontaneously, and the wines tend to be light and fruity.” Fruit was sourced from low-yielding, dry-farmed old bush vines in Darling, Durbanville and Paarl.
