Stephen Tanzer's IWC, April 2011

Pale silvery green-yellow color. Grapefruit pith, honeydew, guava, pepper and wild herbs on the nose, along with a sauvignon-like grassy element. Juicy, minty and bright, with refreshing peppery lift to the very dry flavors of citrus fruit and fynbos; more restrained than this winery's sauvignon blanc. The racy finish shows very good cut. Try this with spicy, fruit-based grilled fish preparations and chutneys.

About Winery

South Africa's most uniquely situated wine farm falls within the pristine environs of the Cederberg Wilderness Area, which lies in the Cape Floral Kingdom. Here, among spectacular rock formations and fynbos, you will find the highest altitude vineyards in the Cape. Conservation is fundamental and Cederberg Private Cellar is a committed member of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative.

The cold climate and remote location, with its pure mountain air and water, ensures that the vines are virus free. This results in award-winning wines  which show an exceptional purity of fruit. The farm has been in the Nieuwoudt family for five generations and David Nieuwoudt currently makes the wines.
