About this Item

Shiraz, 2011
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

At more than 3,200 feet above sea level within the magical Cederberg Wilderness Area, Cederberg Private Cellar is South Africa’s highest vineyard. The Nieuwoudt family have been farming in the Cederberg mountain for five generations, with vines planted as early as 1973, but the brand has been energetically driven to become one of SA wine's real success stories by David Nieuwoudt, now at the helm. Thanks to the isolation of the vineyards and the extreme winters, the vineyards are largely virus and disease free. David has single handedly established an enviable terroir identity for the Cederberg, while simultaneously building other successful, pioneering wine ventures, notably Ghost Corner in the region of Elim.

Critics Ratings

‘Generous 2011 is harmonious and juicy, for lovers of fruit-driven style. Serious and rounded, spicy vanilla oak (French and American) balancing luscious fruit.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2014, 4*

‘Deliciously ripe, with succulent boysenberry and blackberry compote flavors lined with anise, bramble and singed apple wood notes. Stays racy through the finish, with the anise accent lending good tension.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Aug 2014)
