Cederberg Shiraz, Private Cellar
£24.92
Vegetarian.
A legitimately unique and wildly remote terroir in South Africa, Cederberg climbs to over 1000 metres altitude above sea level; Cederberg Private Cellar is the only estate making wine here. Historically others have tried, and failed, to make viticulture work for them in this hostile and arid region, but only the Nieuwoudt family have stayed the course. To produce any wine at all here, let alone make some of South Africa’s most admired wines, is testimony to the passion and commitment of owner/winemaker David Nieuwoudt, the fifth generation Nieuwoudt running the farm
A well-crafted Shiraz with 15 months oak-ageing that allows you to cellar the wine for a few years developing into a sensational wine. Pair with South African game or beef, powerful cheeses such as young cheddar or gruyere or indulge by pairing with an intricate dark bitter chocolate dessert
Tasting Note:
A complex Shiraz filled with intense red fruit, mulberry and cherries on the nose, with hints of sweet spice and vanilla to the red berries following through on the palate.
