A long an interesting history has helped the Cederberg estate, high in the remote Cederberg Mountains, become one of the most well-respected wineries in South Africa. Run for the last five generations by the Nieuwoudt family, Cederberg has produced award winning wines that have been recognised for excellence.
The 2015 Chenin Blanc comes from 11 year old vines that are planted in glenrosa and sandstone soils, on south and west facing slopes. Many previous Cederberg Chenin’s have taken home accolades for quality.
The 2015 offers a light, off-white colour with a flavour profile that gives you peach, orange and other citrus zest. The deep flavours also bring out soft passion fruit and pressed apple juice. It’s extremely smooth and perhaps too easy to drink. It has a short finish and leaves you wanting more quickly.
Would go well with sushi perhaps, but we recommend yellow fin tuna. As for atmosphere, it would be perfect either by a pool or by a fire.
