The Nederburg Auction

This is a picture of the cover of the Nederburg Wine Auction Catalogue for 2010, the 35th Anniversary auction. Started in 1975 with only five wineries and only 15 top wines, it has now gone on to become a large international event showcasing some of the best wines of South Africa. The Auction is also famous for being where the famed dessert wine Edelkaur is being sold. Apart from being a major commercial event, it contains a Charity Auction which has been an integral part of the Auction from the start. The Charity Auction takes place after the sale of rare wines, when specially donated wines are sold off in aid of a nominated charity. The charities and donated items varies from year to year and for these two years, monies have been split been three community based organizations helping children in poverty.
