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
"Inky plum-black in the glass, this flagship Cabernet opens with an opulent nose of ripe blackcurrant, black cherry and savoury black olive, layered with cedar, mocha and dark chocolate. The palate is plush and powerful – rich in black fruit and pastille intensity – yet finely balanced by fresh acidity and sculpted, chalky tannins. A wine of stature and precision, with the structure to age gracefully for over a decade. Already drinking beautifully, it’s a compelling expression of high altitude, cool-climate Cabernet Sauvignon." Sandy Harper CWM
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with dry-aged ribeye with rosemary salt, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, wild mushroom risotto with parmesan, or aged cheeses such as Comté or mature Gouda.
