Editor's note: 'Nederburg - renowned internationally for the excellence of its wines and the annual Auction - is celebrating its 200th anniversary in 1992. This book, specially published to commemorate the bicentenary of South Africa's most famous wine producer, traces the farm's history from the original land grant of some 57 morgen to Philippus Bernardus Wolvaart at the end of the eighteenth century, through the lives and achievements of the seven private owners who succeeded him, to the impressive modern enterprise that has won over 1000 national and international awards for its wines.
'Written by the granddaughter of the fifth owner of Nederburg, the text is more than a catalogue of the events that have taken place on this beautiful farm in the Paarl valley: it is a tale of the dreams and disappointments, the sorrows and successes, of the many people of vision who have lived and laboured there over the last two centuries--from its first owner a rough stable-hand's son, to sophisticated viniculturists and entrepreneurs in the twentieth century.'
