South Africa

These two Sparkling wines come from the Nederburg winery which has a strong historical association with Germany through its two main architects, Johann Graue, the man who developed Nederburg into the pre-eminent South African wine trademark, and Gunter Brozel, the doyen of Cape winemakers. The current winemaker, Razvan Macici, is a recently naturalised South African, born and educated in Rumania, a heritage he shares with Julius Lazlo, who was born in Hungary, but educated in Rumania and went on to become Director of the Rumanian Wine Institute. Lazlo emigrated to South Africa and together with another Hungarian nobleman, Desidirius Pongracz established innovative oenological and viticultural practices in South Africa. Pongracz came to South Africa as a political refugee and his contribution is acknowledged in the name of our best selling Cap Classique sparkling wine, Pongracz.
