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
At first the subtle character of the wine is understated; yet with more exposure to oxygen and a splash of time, this Cabernet begins to unfold its wings. On the nose, a generous helping of black plums and juniper berries take the centre-stage, with liquorice following. On the palate this Cabernet surprises with its subtlety and elegance of structured, yet chalky tannins and a vibrant acidity. The taste of cardamom, lavender and bay-leaf contribute some spicy characteristics to the wine. Additional flavours of calamata olives, with cherry tobacco and vanilla linger on the delightfully long finish.
Food Pairing
Sirloin on the bone with peppercorn sauce and crispy onions.
