2019 | Cederberg Cellars | Shiraz

This is a wonderful Shiraz produced by Cederberg from their cool, high-elevation vines. This is a multi-dimensional wine that exhibits delicious notes of plum, red cherry, mocha and clove. Medium- to full-bodied, with bright acidity and perfectly ripe tannins, this is a superbly well-balanced red for either early drinking or medium-term cellaring.

Producer Information

The farm itself lies in the Cederberg Wilderness Area, and of its total 5 500 ha, only 74 ha are under vine. Today, this award-winning winery is owned by David Nieuwoudt, who represents the fifth generation of the Nieuwoudt family. Emma, David's daughter, represents the sixth generation.Many stories have been told about 'how it all started'. Maybe the first Platter's South African Wine Guide (1980) puts it best:'Oom Pollie has confounded the experts by producing prize-winning wines on his farm high in the remote Cederberg mountains. He first started making wine for the farm workers with table grapes that ripened too late to be taken in by the nearest co-operative. The venture was so successful that he decided to try his hand at making red wine, and the first vintage in 1977, though too small to be certified the first vintage, was acclaimed by experts as being up to 'superior standards.'
