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.
