Winter weather calls for a cosy tasting experience - superb wines, a delicious snack platter, incomparable views and a warming fireplace.

Winter calls for red wine and a crackling fireplace - and we have both available to enjoy at The Tasting Room. Take this as your sign to visit us for a comfortable, cosy wine tasting experience.

Winter is settling into the valley, but the quiet season still sees a lot of activity in the vineyards. This month saw the planting of our cover crops - a vital part of regenerative farming.

Christo tells us more the use of cover crops in the May edition of the Oldenburg Vineyards' Views - in your. inbox on Thursday.

Early morning views from our young Cabernet Franc block.

The multicoloured jewelled berries on this cluster are a beautiful illustration of veraison - the period of development where the berries begin transitioning from green to red in red grapes and from an opaque green to a translucent yellow-green, in white grapes. It is a visual part of the ripening process that signals the big event is drawing near: harvest.
