Our epic Stellenbosch Bucket List weekend continued with our first ever visit to Oldenburg. Here’s the background to the whole Stellenbosch Wine Routes initiative.

The year 2007 saw the first wines released from this delightfully enterprising winery which nestles in the sheltered Banhoek valley above Stellenbosch.

Rhodium sounds like a precious metal and it is, it’s found alongside platinum and 90% of it is in South Africa. It’s also the name of Oldenburg’s newest release.

A winemaker once told me about a dinner he had in Bordeaux – sitting next to the owner of one of the grand chateaux, he was explaining how he had been making his own wine in South Africa for a few years, and that he was finding it quite a difficult business.

The Sniff and Spitterati will nod their heads sagely and say “we cant really make a good Merlot here, it’s a blending wine at best.”
