Oldenburg Vineyards' Rhodium Red Blend wine tantalises the palate with an extraordinary fusion of flavours embodying the richness of Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes. Emanating from the heart of South Africa's Stellenbosch region, its deep garnet hue reveals an intense mixture of luscious dark fruits, a hint of savoury spice and a touch of sophisticated elegance. Its extraordinary balance of voluptuous fruitiness and delicate tannins legitimises its reputation as a wine of exceptional quality. Additionally, Oldenburg Vineyards ensures a strictly limited production, making each bottle of Rhodium Red Blend a rare indulgence for any discerning connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

The depth of flavour found on the Rhodium intensifies with every subsequent vintage. The wine displays a deep ruby hue in the glass. On the nose, you will find rhubarb and roses, alongside red cherries and raspberries. This delivers a stunning fruit spectrum. The palate adds a weighty, savoury element – with violets, lavender and grapefruit pith adding a seriousness to this wine. A beautiful finely-grained tannin structure and a racy acidity complement each other, adding a lengthy, lingering bitter-almond finish.
