Oldenburg Vineyards
At Oldenburg Vineyards we believe that great wines can only come from the best quality grapes. Our intervention in the vineyards is minimal to reflect the full potential of our mountain terroir. The Oldenburg Vineyards Series is a true expression of terroir through our range of single cultivar wines. The confluence of the 8 Natural Elements that determine our unique terroir is explored through these wines and their real sense of place. The 8 elements are depicted on the intricate Oldenburg Vineyards Series label design. Wines made in an uncompromising manner intending to showcase the finest characteristics of each cultivar.
Description
Once again, our Merlot illustrates a characteristics site specificity, found only at Oldenburg Vineyards. The cooler valley helps to retain the fresh floralness and fruit of this delicious wine. In the glass, a ruby core suggests flavours of red fruit, which are indeed found on the nose, in the form of sour red cherries, red plums and cranberries. A savoury element of sundried tomatoes, rosemary, lavender and cinnamon adds a complexity to the otherwise fruit forward wine. On the palate, a racy acidity carries the fruit, whilst the structured fine-grained tannin rounds off a stunning mouth-feel. A beautiful wine, which will hold up incredibly well over the next 8 – 10 years.
Food Pairing
Chilled Merlot served with a ham hock terrine, pea veloute, pea salad & truffle oil.
