A premium boutique wine producer in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa

Welcome to Oldenburg Vineyards in the Banghoek Valley in the Stellenbosch region less than an hour from Cape Town. We are located in the mountains just a few kilometres from the town of Stellenbosch. The region is considered the premium location for making high quality wines in South Africa with neighbours such as Thelema, Delaire and Tokara.

We make small quantities of both red and white wines only using grapes from the Estate. Careful study of our soils, temperatures, wind variations and sunlight aspects led us to planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc plus a few smaller interesting blending varietals.

Central to our belief is the fact that great wines only come from the highest quality grapes. What happens in our vineyards needs to be without compromise in order to deliver the potential offered by our magnificent terroir.

We have a strong belief that the natural diversity of the Cape, in particular its geography, soils, climate and other physical attributes allow a complexity that is critical in exciting wines. Set against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty Oldenburg Vineyards is to our minds the "Gem of Stellenbosch". The location helps to inspire us to take a sustainable approach to the vineyards, and the surrounding environment in general. This approach is quite complementary to premium wines.

We encourage you to enjoy the website, the wines and in late 2010 our new tasting facility. We appreciate your feedback or any enquiries you may have.
