Cederberg V Generations Chenin Blanc 2003
Varietal: Chenin Blanc
Vineyard: Cederberg
Region: South Africa, South Africa
This very small production reserve-style Chenin Blanc has a fat, juicy palate with a ripe oak character. It is concentrated and richly structured with good acid backbone. An elegant, well-crafted wine that was awarded an impressive 93 points by Wine Enthusiast
At more than 3,200 feet above sea level, Cederberg Private Cellar is South Africa's highest vineyard. A cool continental climate, where snow can fall on the vines in winter and northwesterly breezes fan them in the warm summers, combined with unpolluted air and crystal clear waters, make this dramatic landscape the ideal terroir for producing wines of nobility, power and grace.
The Nieuwoudt family has been handcrafting wines at the Cederberg vineyard for five generations. But today there is new excitement and energy at the property with David Nieuwoudt now at the helm. Nieuwoudt's viticultural training and love of wine have resulted in wines with pronounced character and appeal.
