What’s that in my glass? In this episode, Winemaker Nic van Aarde breaks down the truth about sediment in wine — what it is, why it forms, and why it’s a natural (and welcome) sign of life in the bottle.
Nic also takes us behind the scenes to demonstrate how we rack our wines — a gentle, time-honoured technique that allows us to avoid filtration while preserving purity and texture.
At Oldenburg, we believe in minimal intervention. That means no fining, no filtration - just honest, expressive wines that reflect their origin.
Sediment is a sign of life.
