I've been a visitor to the Cederberg since 1982. I'm passionate about this area and its people, who live a fascinating lifestyle, many off the grid. I'm privileged to be called a friend, a virtual 'member of the family' by some of the people. This blog is my personal record of more than 35 years visiting this fantastic, rugged and mountainous region of the Western Cape, South Africa. The photo above shows the house that C Louis Leipoldt's family occupied. Now used as guest accommodation.

Cedeberg's stunning Pinot Noir 2015

Grab a bottle if you can find it.

This award-winning wine certainly tempted by senses. While I found David's earlier Pinot Noir vintage a little too much on the European style, a red wine treated almost like a white wine, with this vintage he has returned to a classic.

Especially a late afternoon wine, when your palate starts reminding you that a great steak on the coals is in order later on with a full bodied red. It's got amazing complexity and great acids.

Bring in on, yeah ;)

Oh and unfortunately the winery is sold out. Maybe find it at one of the agents?
