You are invited to join us for the 2013 Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Auction - Saturday 5 October at 9:00 at Spier Conference Centre in the Stellenbosch winelands.

If you would like to purchase Auction wines but are unable to attend, online, telephonic and proxy bidding options are available. For further details and to register for the Auction, contact Kate Jonker on kate@capewinemakersguild.com or phone: +27 (0)21 852 0408.

Each year the prestigious Nedbank CWG Auction showcases the finest and most exclusive wines produced by its talented members. These rare limited edition wines are produced in small volumes exclusively for this Auction and strict controls are put in place to ensure wines are distinct from those offered under the winemakers’ regular labels.

All Guild members may participate in the Auction, provided the wines they put forward are free of technical defects and meet the highest standards of quality and wine health management. To ensure this, all Auction wines undergo chemical and microbiological analysis and are subjected to a blind tasting by Guild members.

The public auction is held annually on the first Saturday of October and affords bidders the opportunity to buy rare and unique collector’s pieces from some of the finest winemakers in South Africa.

There is a strong fundraising element to the CWG Auction in the form of a silent auction, consisting of exquisitely packaged, rare and handcrafted wines prepared by the Guild members for this occasion. Funds raised through the Silent Auction are donated to the Nedbank CWG Development Trust.
