“Lime marmalade, tangerine, fynbos, green herbs, grilled brioche and vanilla spice. Ripe style that's quite intense, concentrated and imposing.” Greg Sherwood MW, Beverley Blanning MW, Roger Jones, Decanter Panel Tasting, 22nd January 2023
This is made by David Nieuwoudt, who took over the amazing Cederberg estate from his father in 1997. The vineyards here are the highest in the Cape,at 1100-1150 metres up in the Cederberg mountains. Good natural rainfall, around 550-600mm, cool temperatures (occasionally snow-showers in winter), with plenty of wind, mean that Cederberg enjoys a near perfect climate, in particular a long ripening period. The whites are mountain-fresh, with plentiful natural acidity.
