Cederberg wines are produced by South Africa's most uniquely situated
wine farm boasting the Cape's highest lying vineyards. The farm is situated
in the Cederberg Wilderness Area, and falls within the Cape "fynbos"
region - one of the worlds' six floral kingdoms.

The cellar has leaped into prominence on the South African wine scene
with an impressive repertoire of awards, including 2 coveted Veritas
Double Gold medals in this year only - making it one of five wineries
that stole the spotlight at the 2006 Veritas Awards.

History
The Nieuwoudt family's connection with the Cederberg dates back to 1893.
Since then there have been five generations of Nieuwoudts on the farm.
Appropriately, the family name means ‘New Wood’. Far from the softer,
settled scenes of the estates closer to Cape Town, the Nieuwoudts were
pioneers, farming tobacco and fruit in this rocky, high-altitude terrain,
before discovering that it provided the ideal terroir for wines of distinction.

Today, young David Nieuwoudt carries on the pioneering family tradition,
making innovative and award-winning wines.
