South Africa: Cederberg Wines: 2021 Global Fine Wine Challenge

Cederberg Wines

A Worthy Winner - Top of its class!

2021 Global Fine Wine Challenge

Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2020 

We are elated to announce that the Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2020 was awarded the Trophy for the best other white wine at the influential 2021 Global Fine Wine Challenge. The challenge which was judged in Sydney Australia, is exclusive to the nations of the new world and by invitation only.

Honouring the fifth generation on this family-owned farm in the Cederberg and produced from a single vineyard high in the mountains. This worthy winner, the 2020 vintage expresses a sensational bouquet of citrus blossoms, roasted almonds and orange peel on the nose.

Tasting & Pairing Notes 

This wine displays a great balance between oak and fruit with baked apple and marmalade notes on the palate leading to a rich, creamy finish. A winner with Gruyère, this food-friendly Chenin pairs brilliantly with white meats accompanied by nutty sauces, mushroom risotto, butter chicken or ravioli with burnt sage butter.

Cederberg Bukettraube

R95.00

An aromatic Bukettraube with a distinctive green apple, terpene character followed with hints of honeycomb and white flowers.

A vibrant wine with delicate muscat flavour finishing off with a refreshingly sweet and sour sensation.




Cederberg Five Generations Cabernet Sauvignon



R625.00

Cederberg Five Generations Cabernet Sauvignon

A premium wine in the Cederberg range, only 5 600 bottles produced every year. The 18 months of maturation in new French oak has intensified the rich aromas of blackcurrant and cassis, layered with decadent dark chocolate and cherry tobacco. A velvety texture that lingers on the palate with a distinct blackcurrant aftertaste. A ripe tannin structure from the grapes hanging up to 18 days longer in the vineyard, gives this wine the potential to mature for many years to come.

Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc

R250.00

Twelve selected barrels were used to produce 1000 cases.

Delicate aromas of honey, lime zest, roasted nuts and peaches laced with sweet vanilla undertones.

Well-integrated wood and ageing on the lees developed a full, rich palate with a smooth lingering finish.

This Chenin Blanc is concentrated and structured for longevity. An elegant well crafted wine.


Cederberg Sauvignon Blanc

R115.00

Cederberg Sauvignon Blanc

An aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with a combination of tropical, citrus and green aromas.

Aromas of gooseberries, guava, lemon zest with hints of asparagus and green fig.

A refreshing, crisp acidity finishes off the initial sensation of creaminess on the mid-palate.

The ideal companion to traditional chicken pie, but also try it with shellfish or pork.


Cederberg Sustainable Rosé

R75.00

The Cederberg Rosé, made of Shiraz on sandstone soil, shows elegant aromas of strawberries, watermelon and cotton candy.

It has a dry entry with a creamy palate yet it has a crisp finish.

Cederberg Shiraz

R250.00

Cederberg Shiraz

A complex Shiraz filled with intense red fruit, mulberry and cherries on the nose. 15 Months in oak showing hints of sweet spice and vanilla.

Red berries follow through on the palate and finish off with a smooth lingering sensation. A well-crafted Shiraz that allows you to cellar the wine for a few years developing into a sensational wine.

Pair with South African game, powerful cheeses such as young cheddar or gruyere or indulge by pairing with intricate dark bitter chocolate.

South Africa: Cederberg Wines Latest Longavi Release | Вина Седерберг Южная Африка

Cederberg Wines, South Africa

Latest Longavi Release

A Continental Collaboration

It is with huge excitement that we invite you to purchase wines from the premium Longaví range. Many of them available from online store for the very first time, as sales open at 9 am on 25 March 2021.

These wines are the result of a collaboration between two friends from different continents – Chilean producer Julio Bouchon and South African winemaker David Nieuwoudt, who teamed up to produce premium wine from forgotten vineyards that have now been rediscovered and are proving to be vinous treasures.

After completing the 2013 harvest in South Africa, David winged his way over to South America to do another crush back-to-back. The first resultant wine to land on our shores was the Sauvignon Blanc 2013, a true expression of this cross-continental collaboration. From this promising start, the project grew to include several other bottlings.
