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
"The 2024 vintage reveals a subtle but elegant nose, opening from initial restraint to delicate notes of winter melon, prickly pear and warm hay. As the wine unfolds, aromas of ginger, honeycomb and warm baking spice reveal themselves. The palate is rich and opulent, with a silky, mouth-coating texture carrying layers of preserved ginger, poached pear, warm honey and sweet spices. The wine is poised and lingering, with a gentle marmalade and citrus pith nuance adding freshness, complexity and finesse to the finish." Sandy Harper CWM
Food Pairing
This wine pairs excellently with white meats accompanied by slightly nutty sauces, Cape 'smoorsnoek', mushroom risotto, or butter chicken. It is also delectable with Gruyère cheese.
