Sauvignon Blanc

This wine pairs wonderfully with exotic salads, such as caramelized fig and orange with feta, or grilled chèvre on sourdough. It's also an excellent match for tomato-based dishes and goat cheese​.

The grapes are grown in Cederberg, South Africa's highest vineyard at 1,036 meters above sea level, with a cool continental climate. The vineyards face south and east, benefiting from slate and sandstone soils. The vines are an average of 16 years old, and supplementary irrigation is used​.

The winemaking is done under reductive conditions, utilizing dry ice and carbon dioxide gas. Grapes are lightly pressed after around five hours of skin contact. Fermentation takes place at 11°C for 24 days, followed by maturation on fine lees for four months, with bâtonnage (lees stirring) conducted monthly.

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.
