Winery Cederberg
The peoples of the San and Khoi inhabited the Cederberg area early on and left a rich heritage of rock art. It was not until the mid-18th century that another group of people set foot in the Cederberg - the Nieuwoudt family. The first Nieuwoudts arrived in South Africa in the early 1700s. Almost 100 years later, their descendants moved into the Cederberg. In 1893, the current family moved to the farm Dwarsrivier, also known as Cederberg Private Cellar and Sanddrif Holiday Resort. Six generations ago, no one would have guessed that this rugged, fynbos-covered area on the edge of the Succulent Karoo biome would one day become a high-altitude winery in the Cape Winelands. The farm itself is planted with only 66 hectares of vineyards. Today, the award-winning Winery is owned by David Nieuwoudt and is in its fifth generation.
Tasting notes
The Sustainable Rosé from Winery Cederberg was made from a single Shiraz vineyard and shows elegant rosé aromas of strawberry, watermelon, and cotton candy.
On the palate, it is creamy, yet with a fresh and crisp structure. Furthermore, the exotic, coral-pink appearance rounds off this high-class wine.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
