Cathedral Cellar - The serenity of fine wine

Full-bodied, radiating complexity, yet mellow and very smooth - the Cathedral Cellar range of quality wine is KWV Internationals flagship for the connoisseur. These are refined, elegantly styled wines, the true synthesis of an Old World and a New World style of winemaking. They bear the hallmark of the classic French influence of Cape wines, yet are produced using the latest viticultural and oenological techniques.

They are named after KWVs famous Cathedral Cellar, with its soaring barrel-vaulted roof, exquisite chandeliers and imposing rows of hand-carved wooden vats. In the serene atmosphere of this cool and stately sanctuary, Cathedral Cellar wines slowly mature to perfection in selected small oak barrels.

It is this perfection that has ensured that Cathedral Cellar is South Africas most awarded premier wine range. It has received numerous international and South African awards since its launch in the early Nineties.

The ranges quality begins in the vineyard. Only the best grapes from the specially selected vineyards in the Cape, combined with the winemakers skill and dedication, are used to produce these classic wines which rank among the leading South African wines in the world.

Seven wines, two whites and five reds, compose the Cathedral Cellar range. These are Cathedral Cellar Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinotage, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc.

The range has recently been repackaged in an elegant new presentation…mirroring the perfection of its creation, the tranquility of its serene sanctuary and its intense quality.
