While most of us wouldn't mind a week in France, drinking fine French wines, it's not all fun and games for Team Nederburg. The team has been training hard for the finals on Saturday, trying to learn as much as possible and walking into the competition with new insights.
See how they train through their coach, JV Ridon's updates:
On Monday they trained with legendary Alphonse Mellot, tasting through Sauvignon to Pinot
Sancerre
Team Nederburg is exploring the terroirs of Sancerre. At the back you can see the famous Monts Damnés made famous for its ability to age gracefully
Captain Anita Streicher Nel is experiencing the silex soils from Sancerre, and showing why we find flintstone aromas in some Sancerre sauvignon blanc! Everything is a question of terroir!
