A very small crop from our block of clone 95 meant that the wine is largely made from clone 548. On the nose the wine has plenty of ripe peach, lemon peal and savoury notes. The palate is richly textured with plenty of citrus, some pear and more peach flavours.

The 2019 growing season was typically cool but relatively dry which gave us healthy grapes with very good concentration of flavour. The summer was mild with cool nights that ensured gradual ripeness and retention of natural acidities. The week leading up to harvest we experienced warmer days and nights which caused a sudden accumulation of sugar vineyards. Fortunately we were able to harvest all our blocks in time and the result was a very intense, compact harvest but with resulting wines proudly representing the unique vintage.

Oak Valley

Oak Valley is situated high along the Groenlandberg Mountain Range in one of the coolest wine growing regions in South Africa; Elgin. Attention to detail in the vineyards and our minimalist intervention approach in the cellar is what shapes our cool climate wine styles. Oak Valley’s signature is elegance.
