THE prestigious Cape Fine & Rare Wine Auction, previously the Nederburg Auction, takes place at the Rupert Museum in Stellenbosch on October 18 and 19, 2019.
All 124 wines on auction have gone through a meticulous selection process appraising both investment potential and wine quality. Buyers will have the opportunity to secure some of South Africa’s rarest and most sought-after wines. Having been kept at perfect cellaring conditions by the producers themselves, guaranteeing provenance and ideal maturation, each wine has gone through rigorous quality assessments. Some older vintages have been recorked thanks to the experts at Amorim Cork.
