The esteemed Cape Winemakers Guild Auction 2025
The Cape Winemakers Guild Auction is a prestigious event that celebrates the art of winemaking through exclusive, one-off wines crafted by South Africa’s top winemakers. Taking place this year on October 3 and 4 at the Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West, the auction offers a rare opportunity to experience the passion and creativity of winemakers like Andries in an intimate setting.
Andries Burger has long been recognized for his dedication to precision, elegance, and innovation in winemaking. His wines consistently reflect the unique terroir of the Elgin region, where Paul Cluver Family Wines has flourished for generations. This shared respect for the land and its potential creates a natural synergy between Andries and our estate, making his participation in the upcoming Cape Winemakers Guild Auction 2025 particularly special.

“When I look at blending, when I look at tasting wines, I look at balance first. When you have got a wine that is balanced, it is going to be a complete wine.” – Andries Burger
