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.
For five generations the Nieuwoudt family have been handcrafting wines, upholding the vision and passion of Pollie Nieuwoudt, founder of Cederberg Wines.
A Cape classic, leads the pack in the Cederberg range. Limited to only 3400 bottles. In a different league, this handcrafted, classically styled 2008 is made to mature (peak around 2014 – 2016 though already delicious). 18 months of maturation in new French oak has intensified the rich aromas of blackcurrant and cassis, layered with decadent dark chocolate and cherry tobacco. The plush velvety finish leaves one wanting more. Reap the rewards of patience if opting to mature this wine.
