Twenty years ago, Rondekop’s Cabernet Sauvignon story began with a replanting mission, a battle against leaf-roll virus, and a belief in what this extraordinary site could become.
Today, that journey has led to one of our proudest milestones yet: Per Se 2022 being awarded Best Cabernet Sauvignon in South Africa in Platter’s 2025 Guide.
In this episode, Adrian Vanderspuy reflects on the evolution of Rondekop’s Cabernet Sauvignon - from the early challenges to the precision viticulture that defines our vineyards today. Winemaker Nic van Aarde, Viticulturist Christo Crous, and Head Sommelier Greg Lorimer join him as they walk through the philosophy, the setbacks, the breakthroughs, and the team effort behind our Cabernet Sauvignon's success.
Watch the full story behind the vineyard, the people, and the wine now shaping Oldenburg’s future.
