About this Item

2001 CWG Auction Reserve
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Cordoba was situated high up on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain, the last vintage produced to date was 2004. After the maiden 1995 vintage acquired 5 stars in the 1999 edition of Platter’s, the wine (along with their maker, Chris Keet) was propelled to cult-like status, amplified further by their small production. Cordoba estate has now been revived as Taaibosch – for the olive-green indigenous shrub that grows there in some profusion – and is as beautiful a farm as ever, with its steep slopes and varying aspects and view across to False Bay.

Sold on the 2007 Cape Winemakers Guild Auction. Since its inception in 1985, the Nedbank CWG Auction has been a showcase of some of the finest young wines produced in South Africa.
