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

Almost immediately after release the wines were sniffed out by the critical wine fraternity and hailed as the new kid on the block and a winery to watch, which is not surprising as Oldenburg’s wines were good – actually very good – especially their delicious Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc.

Owner, Adrian Vanderspuy’s life took a full circle in 2003 when he purchased Oldenburg farm, which was the neighbouring farm to the one he was born on. He immediately set to work and had the soils analysed which came back with excellent results for the potential of growing outstanding quality grapes. He removed all the old vines as they were in poor condition after years of neglect and replanted with both red and white cultivars.
