Tasting Note

The Cederberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, re-tasted in January 2025, shows all the richness and opulence of the wine when it was first released. While the vibrancy of the fruit is still very evident, the wine has developed a compelling black olive salty savouriness. The palate is chalky with a ripe fruit presence and lingering finish. The tannins are silky, seamless and perfectly integrated. This is an extraordinary wine, full of dichotomies. Complex while approachable, savoury with sweet ripe fruit, incredibly drinkable now but will reward those with patience. - Sandy Harper

Product Notes

Renowned for its robust complexity, the Cederberg Cabernet Sauvignon is an exquisite South African wine. This deeply indulgent red wine captivates with striking dark fruit flavours of blackberry and blackcurrant, intertwined with hints of cedar and sweet vanilla. A compelling aroma of dark chocolate and tobacco further enhances its allure, capturing the distinct nuances of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Supervened by the smooth richness of well-integrated tannins and a lengthy finish, this medium-bodied wine stands out for its balance and elegance. It pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, making it an ideal dinner companion for any discerning wine enthusiast.
