Cederberg

Cederberg Private Cellar – South Africa's highest-altitude winery. Situated at up to 1,000 meters in the Cederberg region, far from the coast, winemaker David Nieuwoudt runs the family estate, Dwarsrivier, in its fifth generation. The terroir is his signature: extreme altitude, a virus-free mountain climate, and pure mountain springs. This gives the wines freshness and mineral precision. The rugged, untouched environment is evident in the taste: award-winning wines of impressive purity and character. Nieuwoudt's vision: wines that capture the essence of this wild mountain landscape. Authentic, uncompromising, and distinctive. For all those who appreciate altitude and craftsmanship.

Cederberg Private Cellar –
High-altitude wines from the Dwarsrivier Valley

Cederberg Private Cellar is situated at an altitude of up to 1,000 meters in the Cederberg Mountains, about 200 kilometers north of Cape Town – making it the highest winery in South Africa. The mountain air is clear, the climate virus-free, and the water comes from springs that emerge deep within the rock. Those who cultivate wine here work against wind, cold, and short growing seasons – and in return, they are rewarded with grapes of exceptional concentration and freshness.

David Nieuwoudt runs the family winery Dwarsrivier, now in its fifth generation. His wines defy trends: they showcase what this wild, untouched landscape has to offer – mineral coolness, firm structure, and a long finish. Whether Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, or Cabernet Sauvignon: the high-altitude character is palpable in every glass.

Those who appreciate wines that do not hide their origin will find Cederberg to be one of the most consistent addresses in South African winemaking – far removed from mass production, close to the essence of the terroir.
