The Khoisan people, who lived in harmony with the natural environment, inhabited the Cederberg area from early times. Then, during the mid-1800s, another resilient group of people set foot in the remote Cederberg – the Nieuwoudt family and in 1893 the present family moved to the farm Dwarsrivier, which is home to Cederberg Wines.
The estate is situated in a unique climatic zone that can be described as a cool Mediterranean climate. The farm Dwarsrivier is located at the foot of Sneeuberg Mountain, one of the highest peaks in the Western Cape at 2 026m above sea level. Of its total 5 500 hectare, only seventy-four hectare are under vine. From the yellow-brown soil of granitic origin to the lightly structured soil with sandstone, Cederberg Wine’s soil types belong to the Bokkeveld and Witteberg groups.
The fifth-generation to farm these pristine lands, David Nieuwoudt has been on an award-winning trajectory since he took over the reins in 1997. The Five Generations range showcases the best of the Cederberg.
Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2023
R441.00
Region: Cederberg
Tasting note:
“A complex Chenin Blanc expressing pure fruit aromas, baked apples and delicate spice complemented by roasted almond and citrus notes. A great balance between fruit and oak with a creamy and lively finish” – Sandy Harper CWM
Food Pairing:
A slightly nutty sauce with white meats, Cape “smoor snoek” works great. Try mushroom risotto or “Butter chicken” – both a winning combination. A burnt sage
butter pasta ravioli is the best.
