Oldenburg Chardonnay 2022

R444.00

Region: Banghoek

Tasting note:

The nose is incredibly inviting; ripe apricots, naartjie, quince and loquat aromas are in abundance. The touch of oak is well integrated, with a light vanilla and slightly smoky characteristics floating at the edge of perception.

“A recent bottle of Chardonnay 2022, however, suggested that winemaker Nic van Aarde, who joined in November 2018 having previously worked at Warwick, is settling in just fine. Matured for 11 months in 228-litre barrels of which 29% were new, the nose shows struck-match, citrus, peach, vanilla and spice while the palate has succulent, sweet fruit offset by fresh acidity before a dry finish (alc: 13.56%). Creamy in texture with plenty of detail. – CE

Oldenburg Vineyards is situated in an elevated position in the Banghoek Valley, above the town of Stellenbosch. In 2003 current owner and entrepreneur, Adrian Vanderspuy, acquired Oldenburg from his grandmother. He began analyzing the terroir and climate before replanting the vines, giving the estate a new life.
The Oldenburg Vineyards Series is a true expression of terroir through their range of single cultivar wines. The major geographical features that create their unique climate are known as The 8 Elements: Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, mountain ranges, mountain amphitheatre, cool winds, elevation, soils and Rondekop. The farm is surrounded by an imposing mountain amphitheatre, with their vineyards arranged like puzzle pieces around Rondekop – their iconic and perfectly round hill. The elevated position in the mountains gives a unique and refreshing coolness. The soils which are predominantly weathered granites and Table Mountain sandstones are over 600 million years old. They are perfect for water retention and their rockiness allows for deep root penetration.
The eight elements are depicted on the intricate Oldenburg Vineyards Series label design. Wines are made in an uncompromising manner, intending to showcase the finest characteristics of each cultivar.
