Gold Veritas Awards 2011

Cederberg Region

Cederberg wines are produced by South Africa's most uniquely situated wine farm boasting the Cape's highest lying vineyards. The farm is situated in the Cederberg Wilderness Area, and falls within the Cape "fynbos" region - one of the worlds' six floral kingdoms. The cellar has leaped into prominence on the South African wine scene with an impressive repertoire of awards, including the coveted Veritas Double Gold medal - South Africa's top wine accolade.

This crisp, reductively made Chenin Blanc is in true Cederberg Style, showing a powerful nose of tropical melon, grapefruit and lemon peel. Five months of lees contact created a mouth tingling crispness with a lingering finish. Superb food compatibility. Definitely one of the most successful Cape Chenins of the last decade. Optimum drinking time: 1 - 3 years after release
