The collection of five individually named wines, each to honour a personality in Nederburg's history, is represented on the wine menu of the newest restaurant of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, called Wheelers Rib Room & Oyster Bar and located at the boutique Threadneedles Hotel in London.
Roger Jones, a UK restaurateur and international wine judge, writer and consultant, is well-known for his acclaimed restaurant, The Harrow at Little Bedwyn in Wiltshire that boasts an exceptional wine list. He encountered The Beautiful Lady, a Gewurztraminer, while in Germany at the recent 2015 ProWein exhibition. Writing for Harpers, he called it a "beauty" and praised its "seamless scattering of rose petals (and) Turkish delight nuances".
Apart from the aromatic The Beautiful Lady, the other wines in the collection are two wooded whites – The Anchorman Chenin Blanc and The Young Airhawk Sauvignon Blanc – as well as a Rhône-style red, The Motorcycle Marvel and a Bordeaux style red, The Brew Master.
Heritage Heroes wines have also been listed by London's luxury Guoman hotel group and the Park Plaza Riverbank.
The wines are available from Nederburg itself, the Vinoteque in Stellenbosch and selected specialty retailers in the major centres.
