Cederberg Bukettraube 2024

The Cederberg Bukettraube 2024 leads with a perfumed nose of nectarine, peach kernel, delicate white blossoms and subtle hints of muscat. The palate delivers a delicate sweetness, offset by a spicy preserved ginger note and an invigorating tangy, saline finish.

The slight sweetness of this wine, combined with the fresh acidity, make it a great food partner. This wine loves sweet spice and salty flavours, and hence is quite versatile. Try it with a haloumi salad with rocket and preserved ginger. The saltiness of the cheese amplifies the floral notes in the wine. Pair it with a Thai chicken and cashew stir-fry. Always a winner with Cape-Malay curry and also delicious with roasted butternut soup with a hint of masala. This is not a dessert wine and is not a good partner to hot, indian-style spices
