A deep and intense red-purple hue can be seen in this wine. Blackcurrants and raspberries characterize the nose, with wood contribution discernible from a whiff of pimento. A smooth, seamless palate, laden with berry fruits. The Cabernet Franc component brings acidity and balance to the lush, luxurious Merlot. A firm structure of fine, well-integrated tannins surround the luscious, opulent core.
The Rondekop Series wines represent a small selection of the best barrels - either single cultivar or a blend - from our iconic Rondekop hill. We believe there are 8 Natural Elements which uniquely impact our vineyards, creating quintessential wine producing conditions. At the center of it all is our perfectly round hill, Rondekop: the 8th natural element. Rhodium is a precious metal, used in the making of luxury jewellery. 80% of all Rhodium is mined in South Africa. Oldenburg’s proprietor - Adrian Vanderspuy - has long been interested and involved in precious metals. To his mind, there is no better analogy for the incredible potential of South African wines - and specifically the wines of Rondekop.
