The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as handpicking, gentle crushing, and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied and complex wine with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. Cederberg Shiraz is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a bold and elegant wine with a distinct sense of place.

Winery: Cederberg

Region: Western Cape

The Western Cape is a province of South Africa located in the south-western corner of the country. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Eastern Cape to the east, and the Northern Cape to the north. The Western Cape is home to some of the world's most renowned wine regions, making it a paradise for wine lovers. The Western Cape has a long and rich history of winemaking. The first vines were planted in the region in 1655 by Dutch settlers, and the first commercial winery was established in 1685. Since then, the region has become one of the most important wine-producing regions in South Africa.
