The Oldenburg Vineyards Series is a true expression of terroir through a range of single cultivar wines and the confluence of the 8 natural elements that determine the unique terroir is explored through these wines. The 8 elements are depicted on the intricate Oldenburg Vineyards Series label design. Grapes for the Chenin Blanc 2023 were picked by hand from cooler climate vineyards with an average age of 40 years. Bunches were sorted by hand and whole bunch pressed in a pneumatic press on a gentle Champagne cycle. The juice was settled overnight and then racked to Austrian oak Foudre and older fill 300-litre French oak barrels for spontaneous fermentation. The wild yeast fermentation took 10 months to complete. Partial malolactic conversion was done on some of the batches and the wine was matured for 10 months in 21% Austrian Foudre and 79% in old French oak barrels before it was gently fined and filtered before bottling. Residual sugar: 2.9g/l. Bottled at 13.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Delicate aromas of jasmine, celery, and shortbread dough mingle with captivating hints of ginger, lemongrass, and cardamom.

Palate: Vibrant notes of lime leaves and freshly crushed mint leaves intertwine, complemented by a delicate saline essence reminiscent of green olives.

Finish: Bright and refreshing, with a lingering saline character and a balanced, vibrant acidity that adds structure and finesse.
