Oldenburg Vineyards Rondekop Per Se Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

R1,196.00

“At first, the subtle character of the wine is understated; yet with more exposure to oxygen and a splash of time, this Cabernet begins to unfold its wings. On the nose, a generous helping of black plums and juniper berries takes the stage, with liquorice following. On the palate, this Cabernet surprises with its subtlety and elegance of structured, yet chalky tannins and a vibrant acidity. The taste of cardamom, lavender and bay leaf contributes some spicy characteristics to the wine. Additional flavours of calamata olives, with cherry tobacco and vanilla linger on the delightfully long finish.” – Nic van Aarde

Description

The Rondekop Series wines represent a small selection of the best barrels –either a single cultivar or a blend from our iconic Rondekop hill. We believe there are 8 Natural Elements which uniquely impact our vineyards, creating quintessential wine-producing conditions. At the centre of it all is our perfectly round hill, Rondekop: the 8th natural element. Per Se is Latin for ´in and of itself. Given the ideal growing conditions, this Cabernet Sauvignon earns its name with pride and conviction. Various elements keep the sunny aspect of the hill cooler during the day, combined with cooler night-time temperatures, allowing for slow ripening and development of the perfect flavour spectrum in the grapes.
