Nederburg Private Bin 103 Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz

1984

750ml

The Nederburg Private Bin R range of wines were specially made and bottled for the Nederburg Auction. The R103 refers to Bin103 in the cellar where the unlabelled wines were stored.
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz (about 75/25%) has been one of the trademarks of Nederburg red wines under the guidance of maestro Günter Brözel, Nederburg’s famous cellar master. Nederburg often used some Shiraz in its Cabernet wines in the 1960’s, like most wineries did. The R103 was launched at the inaugural Nederburg Auction in 1975 as a fully-fledged blend and became a sought-after wine. 
Beautiful deep red colour, just a hint of brown edge. A variety of flavours greet you on the nose – red fruit, some chocolate and a touch of toffee rounded off by some spice. The wine is rich and elegant displaying its youthfulness through beautiful red fruit then more of the chocolate and spice coming through on the palate, smooth and delicious. The acidity is well balanced in this delightful wine promising that it will further mature for a number of years more.
