<CL° is the concept range in the Oldenburg Vineyards stable, and for Oldenburg Vineyards, the <CL° range represents a key part of their story: that they are cooler than Stellenbosch (in terms of climate). Oldenburg Vineyards CL° White 2022 is produced from a blend of 78% Chardonnay and 22% Chenin Blanc. Harvested between 18 and 25 February 2022, grapes were sourced from exclusively cooler climate vineyards that elevate the quality of grapes and wine significantly, through slower and more even ripening. 37% of the wine was matured in concrete eggs, and 67% was matured in older French oak barrels, ranging in sizes from 228-litre to 300-litre. Residual sugar: 2.5g/l. Bottled at 13.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Citrus character on the nose, revealing an array of fragrances including invigorating lemon zest, delicate elderflowers, and enticing orange blossom. A subtle interplay of honey, lemon curd, and a refreshing, mineral essence.

Palate: Fruit flavours shine, supported by a lively acidity that leaves the mouth pleasantly invigorated. Notes of white lilies, star jasmine, and a grapefruit pithiness, derived from a small portion of old vines, contribute to an enchanting tasting experience.

Finish: The journey culminates with a nuanced vanilla finish that adds a delightful touch to the overall encounter.
