This South African white wine has a wonderful balance between delicate sweetness and crisp acidity. Vinification of the Cederberg Bukettraube The grapes for this white wine are harvested by hand from southwest-facing vineyards in the Cederberg site. After the harvest arrives at the Cederberg winery, the grapes are cold pressed and left on the skins for 8 hours. This is followed by another gentle pressing. The resulting must is fermented with selected yeast strains for about 50 days at a controlled temperature (14 degrees Celsius) in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation is stopped by the cellar master, leaving a natural residual sugar. Food recommendation for the Bukettraube Cederberg Enjoy this lovely white wine from South Africa with pleasure well cooled as welcome aperitif. But this wine is also a delight with sweet and spicy dishes, such as Cape curry or foie gras with baked fruit. Awards for Cederberg's Bukettraube John Platter: 3.5 stars for 2018
