A WORD FROm OuR spONsORNedbank’s longstanding relationship with, and support of the agricultural sector has formed an integral part of our Business Banking strategy for many years. Our 21 year sponsorship of the CWG is the most notable example of this successful partnership approach.

As a partner and responsible corporate citizen, we share your concerns around the impact of the drought on the economy, agriculture industry and society as a whole. In addition to working with AgriSA and various relief organisations, we are also working closely with our clients in the sector to explore viable financial solutions both in the short term and more permanent long term.

The developmental initiatives undertaken through the Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Development Trust have been extended to include the new CWG VinPro Viticulture Protégé Programme and a partnership with Wine Training South Africa. This will see an injection of skills into the industry, complementing the work already done through the CWG Oenology Protégé Programme.

Nedbank intends to remain the bank of choice for wine producers, and our offering to the winemaking industry includes the services of a dedicated agriculture unit that combines specialist industry knowledge with extensive and relevant banking experience needed to partner for growth in good times and bad.

We thank you for your support.

Kind regards,

Mike BrownChief Executive, Nedbank Group

FOREWORDThe Cape Winemakers Guild was formed 34 years ago as a forum for its members to share knowledge, winemaking ideas and to taste the great wines of the world in order to benchmark and improve their own wine styles.

Since then, the Guild has evolved into a multifaceted organisation with a clear mission and vision to innovate and improve wine quality and to transform this great industry into something more reflective of the world that we live in today.

Our members still meet every month to taste wines from around the world and discuss and dissect the different styles in relation to what we are doing in South Africa.

Through our Oenology and Viticulture Protégé Programme we have been able to give young winemakers and viticulturists the opportunity to learn from and work alongside some of the best craftsmen in the wine industry. In recent years the Nedbank CWG Development Trust has expanded its mandate, assisting Wine Training South Africa in developing accredited training programmes for cellar workers.

The Guild’s first auction was held in 1985 with 19 wines from 15 members. The prices achieved wouldn’t even buy you a soft drink, let alone a bottle of mineral water today. Looking at last year’s record prices from 56 wines sold by 40 members, the Guild has certainly come a long way. Today’s wines stem from experimentation and innovation and reflect some of the most unique wines produced by our members.

I would like to thank Nedbank for its continued support of the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction, our Development Trust and its related programmes.

I would like to wish everyone a successful 2016 Auction.

Miles Mossop

Chairman

sOuTH AFRICA’s FINEsT WINEmAKERsInnovation, benchmarking and the sharing of knowledge spanning over thirty four years of winemaking excellence, is the proud accomplishment of the Cape Winemakers Guild.

The Guild, an association of some of South Africa’s finest winemakers, has evolved into a body of 48 members who jointly represent the pinnacle of South African wine achievement.

All experts in their respective fields, Guild members have played a significant role in the development of the South African wine industry. From the making of champion port-style wines, the establishment of Méthode Cap Classique and Cape blends, to the opening up of new, cooler wine regions, the introduction of sustainable farming and environmentally responsible wines, Guild members have always been at the forefront of innovation.

THE NEDBANK CApE WINEmAKERs GuILD DEVELOpmENT TRusTThe Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild development Trust was established in 1999 to support social development through further education in the South African wine industry.

The Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Development Trust and Protégé Programme are funded through donations as well as proceeds raised by Guild members at charity events throughout the year.

The current projects of the Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Development Trust include the Guild’s Oenology and Viticulture Protégé Programmes, the AgriSeta Billy Hofmeyr Bursaries and Wine Training South Africa.

By cultivating, nurturing and empowering promising oenologists and viticulturists, the Cape Winemakers Guild Protégé Programme plays an active role in the transformation of the industry to ensure its long term health and sustainability.

The Protégé Programme was launched in 2006 to give aspirant winemakers the opportunity of working alongside and being mentored by the members of the Guild; as well as attending many life skills, wine tasting, marketing and business courses to set them on the road for success as future leaders in the South African wine industry.

In 2014, following the success of our winemaking Protégés, the CWG joined forces with VinPro and launched the CWG VinPro Protégé Programme to give recently graduated viticulturists hands on training with regards to the intricacies of cultivation practices to ensure quality grapes for the production of diverse wine types and styles.

To date, 20 Protégés have participated in the programme, with 12 having graduated and now working within the industry. A further 8 Protégés are currently participating in the Programme.

In addition to the internships, the Protégé Programme also offers Billy Hofmeyr AGRI Seta bursaries to final year Viticulture and Oenology students at Stellenbosch University and Elsenburg Agricultural College.

Kanonkop CWG Pinotage 2014

100% PinotageWine of Origin Simonsberg

Old unirrigated bush vines with yields of 3-5 tons/ha were used to make this wine. The grapes were destemmed, sorted, crushed and fermented in open top “kuipe” for three days. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel and spent a total of 19 months in barrel.

Tasting Notes: Deep red, almost black colour with plum, blackberry and cake spice on the nose. Beautiful richness and balance on the palate for such a young wine, gives a glimpse of what is to come.

The wine will be ready for drinking in 2018.

Hartenberg CWG Auction Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

100% Cabernet SauvignonWine of Origin Stellenbosch

The grapes for this wine were hand-picked and sorted for optimal quality and ripeness. Barrel maturation of 21 months, using 70% new and 30% second fill French oak barrels, created an elegant, ageable wine. The balance of this Cabernet was used as the foundation for our flagship red blend, the Mackenzie.

Tasting Notes: Vanilla, cassis and cedar on bouquet entry, followed by sour cherry and plum notes. The palate is crammed with crunchy black and red fruit with a richness ending in fine dry, lingering tannins.

Drink from 2018 to 2029.

Jordan Chardonnay Auction Selection 2015

100% ChardonnayWine of Origin Stellenbosch

This reserve Chardonnay is traditionally made using natural, wild yeast from the acclaimed Nine Yards Chardonnay vineyard. Intensely concentrated lemon-lime flavours and slow fermentation in 228 litre Burgundian oak barrels for twelve months has resulted in a classic style with a new world twist. Quartzite veins through the 600 million year old granite sub-strata provide the backbone for the mineral flavours. Regular barrel rolling accentuates the rich, leesy character in this elegantly expressive wine.

Tasting Notes: An iconic Chardonnay with intense, mineral, lemon-lime flavours and hints of butterscotch and vanilla. The full, rich mouthfeel and balanced oak integrate superbly with the tropical fruit finish.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

This wine will be ready for drinking from 2017 onwards.

100% SyrahWine of Origin Swartland

Only two barrels were made from Syrah sourced from a tiny, unique parcel grown on decomposed schist soil at the Porseleinberg farm. Spontaneous fermentation took place in concrete fermenters with 10% whole bunches, the rest was destemmed but not crushed. The wine was matured for 18 months in older barrique.

Tasting Notes: The vibrant nose exudes violets, whiffs of pepper and dark plums. The palate is structured with layers of blue – and blackberry fruit, hints of gun flint, lithe tannins and perfume in abundance.

This wine will be ready for drinking in 5 years’ time.

Graham Beck Wines Non Plus Ultra Méthode Cap Classique 2008

81% Chardonnay 19% Pinot NoirWine of Origin Western Cape

The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were whole bunch pressed and only the cuvée fraction used. A small portion of Chardonnay was fermented in Piece Champenoise barrel to promote the creamy texture and complexity. The Pinot Noir adds palate weight and length of flavour. The wine was matured for 72 months on the lees prior to disgorgement. Note: This wine was sold at the CWG Auctions of 2014 = 60 cases and 2015 = 60 cases. All with different time on the lees and disgorgement dates.

Tasting Notes: On the nose there are notes of brioche, lemon and crisp apple fruit, with hints of yeast and cashew. Ripe citrus and rich raspberry bursts onto the palate with a gentle mousse and creamy texture.

Drink within 2 to 4 years.

Etienne le Riche Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

100% Cabernet SauvignonWine of Origin Stellenbosch

A pure Cabernet Sauvignon from a small, specially selected batch. Treated individually and separately with traditional methods, and secondary fermentation and maturation in new oak. This wine should not be confused with the 2007 Auction Reserve as it is a uniquely different wine.

Tasting Notes: Very typical ripe cherry aromas from a great vintage with an extra savoury dimension emanating from seven years ageing in bottle under ideal conditions. The palate is clean with velvety soft tannins.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

The wine is ready for drinking now, and onwards.

Luddite The Broken Ankle Shiraz – Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

91% Shiraz; 9% Cabernet SauvignonWine of Origin Walker Bay

The Shiraz portion is from our oldest vineyard, fermented in open bins with hand punch-downs. Totally natural ferment. Pressed and allowed to finish malolactic fermentation in barrel. The Cabernet portion is from our own vineyards; very small berry so gentle punch-downs not to extract too much tannin. Pressed and sent to barrel. After malolactic fermentation, both wines were racked and the blend made up and returned to barrel for a further year’s maturation. Only second filled French oak barrels were used to allow the fruit to come to the fore.

Tasting Notes: Colour – deep and dark to the edge of the glass. Nose – dark cherries, hint of lavender, cloves and Dutch Speculaas biscuits. Palate – rich, juicy entry with plums, cherries, cinnamon and aniseed. Taut mid-palate showing freshness and fine tannins to polish the long finish.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

Drink now and for the next 20 years.

Mullineux Trifecta Syrah 2013

100% Syrah Wine of Origin Swartland

The Trifecta Syrah comes from our three best Swartland vineyards. One Syrah vineyard is grown on SCHIST soil, one on GRANITE soil and one on IRON soil; bringing brooding structure, perfumed freshness and lush mid-palate to the wine. The grapes were hand-picked and whole-bunch fermented together naturally. The wine spent two years in barrel and 18 months in bottle before release. 2013 was a very perfumed and sophisticated vintage in the Swartland.

AtaraxiaUnder The Gavel Chardonnay 2015

100% ChardonnayWine of Origin Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge

Sourced from a single south-facing vineyard on The Skyfields, home to Ataraxia in the Hemel-en-Aarde located outside the coastal village of Hermanus. Painstaking fruit selection was followed by an extreme non-interventionist winemaking approach. Fermented in small, tight-grain French oak barriques, custom ordered from very specific Burgundian coopers, this wine was barrel aged for a further 9 months before being bottled.

Tasting Notes: This wine is Ataraxia’s terroir in a bottle! Signatured by an underlying minerality, it effortlessly manages to be simultaneously intense and subtle. An extraordinarily complex, precise Chardonnay.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

This wine is ready for drinking now and until 2026.

To ensure maximum fruit and colour retention, the grapes were hand-picked in the cool of the night. The crushed berries were given a 48 hour cold maceration prior to fermentation. Manual punch-downs were done three times a day to extract tannin and colour. Skins were pressed at 5° Balling. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels. Matured for 22 months in one new and one second fill French oak barrel.

Tasting Notes: Intense dark red colour. This wine has a complex and multi-layered fruit spectrum, which ranges from red fruit aromas to spicy elegance and a blackberry richness. Silky, ripe tannins on the palate.

This oaked style nods towards Pessac-Léognan, but has a Cape character all of its own. Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, no settling, naturally fermented in a 500 litre older French oak barrel, matured for 11 months on lees, bottled with minimum stabilisation and filtration. Enjoy with crayfish bisque, petit poulet and creamed spinach or alikreukel – three ways (ref. the CWG Book “Cellarmasters in the Kitchen”).

Tasting Notes: A mélange of orchard fruit, laced with a tangy citrus zest and a hint of mineral salt from the proximity of the vines to the ocean. This wine will age very well. A true benchmark Sauvignon Blanc.

Drink now or keep for 5 years.

Winemaker Neil Ellis

Neil Ellis Insignium 2013

70% Tempranillo; 30% GrenacheWine of Origin Bottelary, Piekenierskloof

Exquisite parcels of Bottelary Tempranillo and Piekenierskloof Grenache were vinified separately in open top fermenters. Towards the end of fermentation, the wine was racked into 100% new oak where the wine completed fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, individual components were classified and selected for inclusion into the 2013 Insignium blend. 17 months barrel maturation followed.

Tasting Notes: Deep in colour, this youthful elemental wine shows wonderful overlapping of aromas and flavours. Although oak is obvious on the nose, ripe sweet fruit is finely poised. Rich, ripe, generous soft mid-palate with a juicy impression is supported by layered complexity. Well defined fine-grained tannins will allow for continued evolving in the cellar over time.

Ready for drinking from 2018 to 2025.

Silverthorn Wines Big Dog II Méthode Cap Classique 2011

62% Chardonnay; 38% Pinot NoirWine of Origin Western Cape

Both the Chardonnay and the Pinot Noir were picked by hand and then gently whole bunch pressed. The Chardonnay juice was barrel fermented and aged in large old French oak barrels to enhance the creaminess and complexity and add palate weight. The Pinot Noir juice was tank fermented in order to accentuate the bright berry characters. After blending, the wine was bottle fermented and aged on the lees for 53 months. After disgorging the wine was aged for a further six months on the cork.

Tasting Notes: The Chardonnay imparts distinctive citrus and chalky characters while the Pinot Noir contributes strawberry nuances. Subtle oaking adds an extra dimension of complexity. Pure elegance is the end goal.

Best drunk from 2019 onwards.

Winemaker Gordon Newton Johnson

Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Seadragon Pinot Noir 2015

100% Pinot NoirWine of Origin Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley

Seadragon is a parcel sourced out of a 1ha vineyard that is the heartbeat of the Newton Johnson farm. The bunches were selectively picked by the family, along a narrow contour of broken up claystone in the granitic soil. Made without sulphur in the winemaking, it allows diverse and dynamic micro-organisms from the grape itself to flourish unrestrained in the fermentation. 11 months maturation, with a further six months élevage in larger oak. Unfiltered, it will improve over many years in bottle.

Tasting Notes: Ornate with high floral notes. Complex and lustrous red fruit core, with the prickle of spices and black cherry in the periphery. Symmetric structure, fine and taut, that leads to a long finish.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

Ready for drinking in 3 to 15 years.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon; 30% Shiraz; 10% MerlotWine of Origin Stellenbosch

The grapes were hand-picked in the cool of early morning. Grape bunches were gently destalked and lightly crushed. On the sorting table, all excess stalks and rotten berries were carefully removed by hand. Fermentation took place in small 300 litre open top oak barrels with three weeks’ extended maturation. The wines were punched down manually five times per day ensuring maximum colour extraction from the skins. Each variety was separately vinified and blended after 18 months of maturation.

Tasting Notes: Bold and invigorating from start to finish. A balance of seamless structure and elegant generosity. Black and blueberry notes dance on the nose and with time, floral aromatics are coaxed from the glass.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

This wine will be ready for drinking in 10 years from now.

Saronsberg Sneeusig Shiraz 2012

100% ShirazWine of Origin Tulbagh

Grapes hand harvested from low yielding vines grown on weathered shale soils were picked in the early morning hours, force-cooled, hand-sorted and transported by gravity to an open top fermenter. A three day cold-soak preceded fermentation which was allowed to start naturally and inoculated half way with D254 yeast. Five punch-downs were done per day. After fermentation the wine went through malolactic fermentation and was aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels. The best barrel of this vineyard was selected.

Tasting Notes: Succulent ripe fruit flavours are complimented by scents of violets and spice. The mouthfeel has depth with pure fruit clarity, integrated oak flavours, finely crafted tannins and a silky finish.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

The wine will be ready for drinking in 2020.

Malolactic fermentation and barrel maturation in a 300 litre new French oak barrel followed for 24 months before egg white fining, filtration and bottling took place.

Tasting Notes: Brooding, deep red colour. Nose of crushed cassis and mulberry fruit with cinnamon spice follow onto the palate, red fruits are ensconced in fully ripe grape tannins and wood spice.

Beaumont Family Wines “Moerse Moer” Chenin Blanc 2015

100% Chenin BlancWine of Origin Bot River

Since 2010 I have been bulk filtering the solids of my Chenin juice. This is the 2015 version. I always found fascinating herbal, acidic gritty flavours in these solids. So with the help of a bulk filter I cleaned up this juice and then fermented it in barrel for about seven months. Occasionally winemaking experiments produce something amazing. I love the Afrikaans description for when something is amazing it’s, “Moerse”! This was a “moerse lekker” portion of lees (also known as “moer” in Afrikaans).

Tasting Notes: Aromatic intensity with passion fruit and herbal aromas. Bright colour. Fresh, intense entry onto the palate. Spicy herbal and fruit driven flavours that linger on a very energetic palate. Young!

Ready for drinking in 2020.

66% Roussanne; 28% Grenache Blanc; 6% VerdelhoWine of Origin Stellenbosch

The grapes were hand-picked in small crates and chilled overnight before whole bunch pressing yielded only the free run juice. All three varieties were fermented in seasoned French oak using natural and cultured yeast. Fermented and matured on the primary lees with some battonage for nine months before blending and bottling. Gentle handling and minimal interference preserved the full potential of the delicate flavours.

Tasting Notes: Floral with zesty citrus rind and lime aromas. Sweeter, ripe yellow apple and nectarine fruitiness with subtle scented oak spices that add a further dimension to the silky texture on the palate.

The wine will be ready for drinking from 2017 to 2021.

De Grendel Op Die Berg Pinot Noir 2013

100% Pinot NoirWine of Origin Ceres Plateau

Hand-picked fruit, nourished by the shale soils of the Ceres Plateau, was crushed before undergoing three days of cold maceration on the skins. It was then fermented in a stainless steel tank for approximately six days with gentle pneumatic punch-downs. The wine was then carefully basket pressed and transferred to 2nd fill French oak for malolactic fermentation on the fine lees, after which it was moved into other 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels for a maturation period lasting 12 months.

Tasting Notes: A lusciously classical Pinot Noir nose greets one, with perfumed dried rose petals in unison with dark maraschino cherry and cranberry fruit, aptly underscored by hints of clove and roasted almonds.

Strydom Family Wines The Expatriate Cabernet Sauvignon - Shiraz 2013

60% Cabernet Sauvignon; 40% ShirazWine of Origin Stellenbosch

The Cabernet is selected barrels from two different vineyards and the Syrah is a special vineyard growing on the slopes of the Helderberg mountain. Both varieties were pumped over and punched down 5 times a day in open top fermenters; with a total time of 15 days’ maceration on skins prior to pressing. Malolactic fermentation was in barrel. The Cabernet Sauvignon was matured in new barrels and the Syrah in a 3rd fill barrel. Blending was in June 2014 and bottling December of the same year.

Tasting Notes: The initial flavour is very spicy but changes to enticing rose petal and red cherries with aeration. The palate has lovely grainy tannins, a minerally centre core and chocolate powder finish.

The wine will be ready for drinking from 2020 through to 2023.

The Drift Farm Kindred Shiraz - Malbec - Barbera 2014

33.3% Shiraz; 33.3% Malbec; 33.3% BarberaWine of Origin Overberg

The most important winemaking decision happened many years before the first grape for this wine was ever harvested. It was a decision of what type of grape to plant where, and in what specific way. To this extent, this wine was conceived and dreamt about over 15 years ago. We chose specific clones of specific varieties, married them to specific rootstocks, planted them on carefully prepared soil, in particular sites on a unique farm. Many years later, this vision bore fruit and the simple, foreseen winemaking process took place. Manual punch-downs, wild yeast, unfiltered and unfined. Natural, hand-crafted wine.

Tasting Notes: A harmony of ripe plum, dark cherry and raspberry fruits on the nose, lifted by signature spice, buchu and dried herbs. The palate echoes the nose, supported with smooth, lingering tannins. The wine is complex, but balanced by freshness and vitality.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

Fermented at 28°C with three pump-overs daily over the fermenting cap. After pressing, the wine was racked to barrel where it completed malolactic fermentation. The wine spent a total of 26 months in 225 litre French oak barrels to integrate the rich tannins and gain complexity.

Tasting Notes: Complex, dark chocolate, black cherry and cassis intertwine with rich blackberry fruit and hints of vanilla and spice from the integrated French oak. Densely layered ripe tannins add to the opulent finish.

This wine is packed in wooden boxes.

Well-structured, this wine will reward careful cellaring for many years to come.

Etienne le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon Auction Reserve 2013

100% Cabernet SauvignonWine of Origin Stellenbosch

A single vineyard selection from the Helderberg area in Stellenbosch, traditionally fermented and then aged in new oak barrels for 22 months.

Tasting Notes: Forthcoming aromas of cassis, plums and cedar. Full bodied with a firm structure and almost sweet fruitiness on the palate. There is great promise for further maturation in the bottle.

The wine should be superb after 10 years from vintage.
