Oldenburg Vineyards
This month, we explore the untamed beauty that surrounds Oldenburg Vineyards - and how it shapes everything we do, from vine to wine.
In the Vineyard Viticulturist Christo Crous and the team are busy suckering as the vines burst to life. He shares why this process is essential — and why our vineyards thrive alongside wild neighbours like caracals, porcupines, honey badgers, and deer. "The more you work with nature, the more nature provides."
In the Cellar Winemaker Nic van Aarde walks us through the racking process and explains why we choose not to filter our wines — preserving purity, texture, and life in every bottle.
In the Tasting Room, Head Sommelier Greg Lorimer highlights the excitement of 1 October, when we release three Rondekop wines:
• Per Se 2022
• Rhodium 2022
• Una V 2024
He reflects on why 2022 was such a remarkable vintage.
