Normally when an unknown person knocks at our door asking for me, I try to hide, cause it’s normally a traffic fine summons. Last week I received a nice surprise when a parcel got delivered to my door. Inside a Limited Edition Twenty10 Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 from Nederburg.
After being voted South Africa’s most successful producer of the year at the 2009 International Wine & Spirit Competition in London, Fifa have signed an agreement, entitling the winery to produce a range of South African Wine for the 2010 Fifa World Cup.
A special edition collection of 3 South African wines has been produced for next year tournament, which will be sold locally and internationally. The range consist out of Cabernet Sauvignon, Dry Rose and a Sauvignon Blanc. Nederburg must be regular readers of Spit or Swallow to know that I’m more into my reds.
A added feature to the 3 wines are the special facility on the back label that will enable consumers to instantly access information on Nederburg by clicking on a unique QR code with their cellphone cameras. The information will appear on their phone screens. I’m still trying to figure it out though….so far I just have millions of photo`s of the bottle on my phone.
The Sauvignon Blanc and Rose are expected to retail at around R55 and the Cabernet Sauvignon at R70.
Also have a look at their recently launched website featuring a 360 panoramic view of the farm.
