A cool wine from a cool microclimate
- An inviting nose of newly-turned earth, black plums, maraschino cherries, rosemary and fennel.
- The palate is refreshing, with a balanced acidity and plush tannins. Flavours of vibrant dark chocolate and mocha can be found, in addition to rhubarb and star anise.
- The CL range is the Lifestyle offering in the Oldenburg range. It draws its name from being cooler than Stellenbosch; playfully using a mathematical equation, the Stellenbosch number plate prefix (CL) and degrees celsius.
- A Bordeaux Blend - Merlot dominant with Cab Sauv and a splash of Cab Franc. All grapes were destemmed before fermentation, with both of the Cabernet grapes being crushed, the Merlot whole berry, before spending 16 months in oak.
- Beef fillet topped with a fresh chimichurri will be a match made in heaven for this wine!
