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 Cederberg Merlot-Shiraz 2023 is a dark, densely coloured blend that brings together the plushness of Merlot with the spice of Shiraz in seamless harmony. The nose reveals ripe blackberries, mulberries and red cherries with hints of pepper and soft oak. On the palate, a compôte of dark and red berries unfolds— juicy mulberry, ripe plum and a tangy burst of pomegranate bring lift and vibrancy. Supple tannins and gentle spice round out the lingering finish. Polished yet unpretentious, this is a generous, go-to red." Sandy Harper CWM
Food Pairing
Ripe fruit and soft tannins make this wine a versatile match with rich satisfying dishes. Enjoy with sizzling lamb chops off the braai, mushroom pasta with a hint of chilli or oxtail pan-fried dumplings (potstickers). It’s equally at home with slowcooked casseroles or simply poured by the glass and shared with friends. Just steer clear of overly spicy dishes that may overpower its charm.
