Tasting Note

This wine greets with an inky, dark velvety colour and an abundant nose with black pastilles, black cherries and ripe plums. Cedar box and pencil shavings speak of time spent in French oak barrels. This is classic cool-climate Cape Cabernet at its best – polished, with refined tannins and a long, persistent finish. Remarkably drinkable right now, but will reward for many years to come. - Sandy Harper

Product Notes

Cederberg Five Generations Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and complex wine with a deep ruby color. It has an intense nose of black currants, black cherries, and ripe plums, with notes of spices, vanilla, and cedar in the background. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a firm tannin structure, balanced by a good acidity and a long, lingering finish. The wine is made from carefully selected grapes from Cederberg’s five-generation vineyard, which is located in the cool-climate region of South Africa. It is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, which adds complexity and a hint of smokiness to the wine. This is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but will also age well for years to come.

About the Winery

Cederberg

The history of South Africa’s Cederberg Wines dates back to as early as 1893. It was during this time that the Nieuwoudt family moved to the farm area of Dwarsrivier, today known as the Cederberg Private Cellar and Sanddrif Holiday Resort. Though the farm is quite huge, only around 66 hectares are used for cultivation to protect flora and fauna here. Currently, the fifth generation of the Nieuwoudt family manages the Cederberg wine brand, which is regarded as one of the best high-altitude wines from South Africa.
