The Oldenburg Vineyards Rhodium is a noble Bordeaux cuvee from the esteemed South African wine region of Stellenbosch. Named after the rare precious metal, this wine stands for precision, elegance and exceptional quality. Oldenburg Vineyards uses the unique terroir around the striking Rondekop hill to produce wines of impressive depth and finesse.
The cuvee is based on Merlot and Cabernet Franc, supplemented by a 10% share of Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes come from high-altitude, well-ventilated vineyards, which allow for slow ripening and thus ensure concentrated aromas. After careful manual harvesting, temperature-controlled fermentation takes place to preserve the fine fruit. The wine then matures for 18 months in French oak barrels, a large proportion of which are new. This gives it an impressive structure and elegant spiciness.
In the glass, the Oldenburg Vineyards Rhodium is a bright ruby red with purple reflections. The nose reveals a multi-layered bouquet of fruity, herbal and floral notes, accompanied by hints of cranberry, sage and thyme as well as lavender, fresh rose petals and a core of black cherries. On the palate, it is harmonious with silky tannins, a softness and elegance that is breathtakingly lively. The finish is long and elegant with hints of dark chocolate and a subtle smokiness.
The Oldenburg Vineyards Rhodium goes perfectly with fine meat dishes such as fillet of beef, saddle of lamb or game. Matured hard cheeses and truffle dishes are also ideal accompaniments for this complex and multi-layered wine.
