Wines By Region
The word wine comes from the Old English win, which derives from the Proto-Germanic *winam which was an early borrowing from the Latin vinum, (which can mean either the `wine` or the `vine`), from Aeolic Greek Fοίνος, (woinos) and from earlier languages such as Hebrew יין (yayin).
Wine producing Regions
Wine grapes grow almost exclusively between thirty and fifty degrees north or south of the equator. The world`s most southerly vineyards are in the South Island of New Zealand near the 45th parallel. However, the world`s most northerly vineyard is Blaxsta Vingård in Flen, Sweden, just above the 59th parallel. As a rule, grapevines prefer a relatively long growing season of 100 days or more with warm daytime temperatures (not above 95°F/35°C) and cool nights (a difference of 40°F/23°C or more).
Wine exporting countries
The 14 largest export nations (2005 dates) – France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Chile, the United States of America, Germany, South Africa, Portugal, Romania, Moldova, Hungary, Croatia and Argentina. California produces about 90% of the wine in the United States. In 2000, Great Britain imported more wine from Australia than from France for the first time in history.
The leaders in export volume by market share in 2003 were:
* France, 22%
* Italy, 20%
* Spain, 16%
* Australia, 8%
* Chile, 6%
* United States, 5%
* Portugal, 4%

In this categoryCederberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Alc 14%. One of the very best Cabernet Sauvignon wines from South Africa, full of quality and racy character. Concentrated dark fruits of black- currant and cassis, laced with a subtle mint undertone. Fifteen months maturation in French oak adds a hint of tobacco leaf and adds an intricate smokey element to this complex wine. [read on...]

Cederberg Cederberger 2007
A dry red blend of 50% Merlot 30% Pinotage and 20% Shiraz. Beautiful ripe blackberried fruits with smokey roasted aromas and well intergrated juicy tannins. Two years in bottle has brought the wine forward and it is drinking extremely well and will continue to do so until at least 2012. A great partner with red meats and game. Perfect with BBQ.

Cederberg Methode Cap Classico Sparkling Brut
This is the maiden vintage of the long awaited Cederberg Blanc de Blancs MCC made by the traditional French champagne method. The wine was partially fermented in top quality selected French oak casks, finishing the first fermentation in steel tanks. The still wine was bottled, adding a mesured 'dosage' of sugar to ferment in bottle to create fine bubbles. The wine is then left in the bottle on the lees for 4 yrs. This brings to the fore a yeasty, biscuit like aroma supported by fresh hints of citrus. These citrus aromas, in particular zesty lime, are derived from using 100% Chardonnay. There is a captivating creamy sensation on the palate and endless ribbons of perfect bubbles in the glass. [read on...]
