Why is it Special?

What makes Cederberg Shiraz special is its “Wilderness Purity.” The air is so clean, and the location so isolated, that the vines are some of the healthiest in the world. It is “Special” because it offers Unmatched Aromatic Intensity—giving you a unique “fynbos” and “cracked black pepper” character that is laser-focused. It is a “Cult Classic,” consistently ranked among the top tier of South African wines and a must-have for any serious collector looking for a Shiraz with true mountain soul.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A profound and complex bouquet. Expect an immediate, heady aroma of ripe mulberries and blueberries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, dried fynbos, and a hint of exotic cloves.

Palate: Full-bodied, concentrated, and impeccably structured. The palate is a dense tapestry of bramble fruit and dark cherries, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins. There is a beautiful core of savoury spice and toasty oak.

Finish: An exceptionally long and commanding finish. It leaves a lingering trail of dark chocolate, sweet tobacco, and a final, aristocratic whisper of stony minerality.

Product details

The Cederberg Shiraz is a powerhouse red that defines “high-altitude elegance.” Crafted by David Nieuwoudt, this wine is a masterclass in balance and intensity. Because of the cool mountain nights, the grapes undergo a long, slow ripening process that preserves an incredible natural acidity and a “blue-fruited” profile. Matured for 15 months in a combination of new and second-fill French oak, it is a full-bodied red with immense ageing potential. It is celebrated for its explosive aromatics and a tannin structure that is as firm and enduring as the Cederberg rock formations themselves.

Food Pairing

Cederberg Shiraz is a "prestige" wine that calls for bold, rustic, yet refined flavours. It is the ultimate companion for Char-Grilled Karoo Lamb or a Venison Loin with a Dark Berry Jus. Its distinct peppery lift makes it a spectacular match for Slow-Braised Oxtail or a Smoky Beef Potjie. For a vegetarian option, try a Roasted Portobello Mushroom Steak with garlic and thyme. It is "Special" when served alongside Aged Boerenkaas or Matured Gruyère, where the wine’s mineral tension cuts through the richness of the cheese.
