The Banghoek Valley (and the Oldenburg Vineyards site, in particular) sees annual rainfall above that of the adjacent areas - and this vintage was no exception. Combined with measured irrigation, our vineyards were not as severely affected by the drought. Berries were smaller, with concentrated colour and flavor intensity. The cooler nighttime temperatures allowed for even ripening and flavour development of the wines.

Hand-picked in small lug boxes and stored in a cool room overnight. Destemmed, crushed and meticulously sorted by hand on a sorting table. Cold soaked for 4 to 5 days. 1 to 3 punch downs per day as well as rack and returns. MLF in tank and barrel. Racked twice during ageing. Barrel selected and blended 3 month prior to bottling. Bottled in November 2020.

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.
