Cederberg
Cederberg is a high-altitude wine estate in the remote Cederberg Wilderness Area, owned by the Nieuwoudt family for generations. With vineyards surrounded by rugged mountain terrain, the estate is known for Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and other South African wines shaped by altitude, isolation and dramatic growing conditions.
Description
A pale straw colour with threads of tiny persistent bubbles/mousse travelling with a sense of urgency towards the surface of the wine and creating delicate pearls around the rim of the glass. The nose greets with notes of toasted almonds, magnolia and citrus blossoms. The first sip reveals a delicate palate reminiscent of kelp and crushed oyster shells, ending in a tangy lemon twist finish.
Food Pairing
Freshly shucked oysters served naked with just a squeeze of lemon and a grinding of black pepper. Sushi and sashimi. Grilled sole with parsley potatoes. Seafood linguine or coronation chicken. Enjoy as an aperitif for a refreshing welcome drink.
