A blend that’s as unexpected as it is irresistible, the CL White brings together Chenin Blanc’s vibrant energy with Chardonnay’s graceful depth. The nose is all charm - white lilies, ripe peach, and lemon curd, with a whisper of clementine zest and green pineapple adding a tropical lift. On the palate, it’s bright and zippy, with citrus and lemongrass dancing around a soft, rounded core. A touch of brioche and chamomile lingers through the long, clean finish.

If you’ve got even a passing interest in South African wine, Oldenburg should already be on your radar - but if it isn’t, consider this your official heads-up. Nestled in the stunning Banghoek Valley of Stellenbosch, Oldenburg is what happens when world-class winemaking meets a ridiculously beautiful location. Think mountain amphitheatres, cooling breezes, and high-altitude vineyards that keep things about five degrees cooler than the rest of Stellenbosch. The result? Wines that are outrageously good, made in a place that’s almost too pretty to leave - though, trust me, you’ll want to stay for the tasting. Their CL range, cheekily named for the Stellenbosch license plate prefix and the cooler microclimate, is a perfect introduction: approachable blends, playful, expressive, and made to reflect the unique personality of the place they come from. But Oldenburg isn’t just about stunning views and delicious wine - it’s about doing it right. They combine regenerative farming with artisan winemaking, meaning the soil, the vines, and the local ecosystem all get the TLC they deserve. From Rondekop, their iconic round hill, to every vine hand-tended in the vineyards, there’s a quiet obsession with quality, care, and respect for nature. You can taste it in every sip: wines that are as expressive as the place they come from, with a cool, fresh elegance that makes you want to linger just a little longer.
