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
For the first time in the history of the Rhodium we have Cabernet Franc as the dominant cultivar, and the result is truly spectacular. The wine itself, shows as deep ruby red in the glass. On the nose the vibrant fruits practically jump out of the glass in the form of redcurrants, juniper berries and blackcurrant leaf. Additionally, spices like nutmeg, cinnamon and mustard seeds showcase the depth of aromas. Secondary aromas of cigar box, coconut and vanilla add to the delectable nose that is alive with promise. The palate is just as inviting with aromas of green bell pepper, peppadew, cloves and toast. The wood integration is sublime; the tannins are velvety soft, and the acidity is juicy. A stunning wine that will mature well for another 10-15 years.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with roast beef or leg of lamb.
