Oldenburg Vineyards, established in 2003 by Adrian Vanderspuy, holds a rich historical background rooted in the picturesque Banghoek Valley. The estate's story is one of passion, commitment, and a deep connection to the land.
The journey of Oldenburg is marked by notable milestones, reflecting the estate's dedication to producing exceptional wines. From its inception to the present day, Oldenburg has evolved into a symbol of fine winemaking in the Stellenbosch region.
Beyond its viticultural pursuits, Oldenburg embraces a unique cultural significance tied to the elements of its terroir. The estate's ancient soils, primarily weathered granites and Table Mountain sandstones, date back over 600 million years, providing a foundation for wines that truly express the essence of the land.
Oldenburg's winemaking philosophy revolves around letting the terroir speak for itself. Adrian Vanderspuy expresses, "My mission is to ‘let the terroir talk’ by allowing our mysterious site to fully show and express itself." The focus is on optimal grape ripeness, minimal cellar manipulation, and gentle extraction to produce balanced, elegant wines.
Winemaker Nic van Aarde plays a pivotal role in bringing Oldenburg's philosophy to life. With a mission to showcase the mysteries of Rondekop, van Aarde applies minimal intervention and gentle extraction, ensuring the unique terroir is at the forefront of every bottle.
Oldenburg stands out with his innovative approach, allowing the mysteries of Rondekop to express themselves fully. Harvesting grapes at optimal ripeness and applying minimal manipulation in the cellar result in wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the terroir.
