At Oldenburg Vineyards, we are driven by the uniqueness of our Place and Nature's influences. Combining Regenerative Farming and Precision Viticulture with Artisan Winemaking, we ensure our wines are exceptional and truly unique.
The Exceptional from The Extraordinary
Oldenburg Vineyards is nestled in an elevated valley of outstanding beauty, embraced by a spectacular mountain amphitheatre. At the heart of our vineyards lies Rondekop—our iconic, round hill. Over several generations of vineyards, we have translated the secrets and mysteries of this extraordinary Place, crafting exceptional wines. We invite you to immerse yourself in the tranquillity and beauty of our vineyards through a visit to The Tasting Room, where you can experience the unique flavours and aromas of our exceptional wines firsthand.
You will find us 8 kilometres from Stellenbosch, on the road to Franschhoek. Off the beaten track, a winding road leads deep into the Banghoek Valley. Our unique location benefits from the confluence of 8 Natural Elements, creating a distinctive terroir and allowing us to make wines that truly reflect their Place.

Regenerative Farming And Our Vineyards
At Oldenburg Vineyards, our deep belief in the power of Nature and our dramatic natural surroundings inspire us. Our commitment to Regenerative Farming is a testament to this. It emphasises promoting soil health, improving biodiversity, and overall ecosystem resilience within and around the vineyards. This approach goes beyond sustainable practices, aiming to improve the land over time, and aligns perfectly with our custodial responsibilities for this Place. We take great pride in our World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) accreditation as a Conservation Champion, which underscores our philosophy and commitment to sustainable and responsible farming.
While the 8 (natural) Elements provide the terroir foundation for our vineyards, our philosophy of working in harmony with Nature provides the cornerstone for all our viticultural activities.
With meticulous attention to every detail, our vineyard team ensures the ultimate goal—the perfect grape. They work tirelessly, from pruning to harvesting, to ensure that only the best grapes are used in our wines. Our dedicated team takes great pride in our vineyards and our mission to create Exceptional wines from an Extraordinary place. Their passion and commitment are reflected in every bottle.
Exceptional wines from extraordinary terroir
The Rondekop series comprises our iconic wines, which purely express their sense of place.
Rondekop, the magical round hill at the heart of our vineyards, is at the center of the unique confluence of our 8 Natural Elements. These wines epitomize our remarkable terroir.
Distinctive wines with a personality of place
The Oldenburg Vineyards series is a collection of exceptional single cultivar wines,
showcasing the diversity of our vineyards, soils and microclimate. These wines are an
illustration of balance, finesse and the coming together of viticulture and winemaking.
Delicious wines without compromise
Created to convey the refreshing coolness of our extraordinary terroir, the CL Series is simply cool, in every sense of the word. A perfect combination of elevation, cooling winds and the proximity of our mountain amphitheatre cause lower afternoon and evening temperatures, creating a cooler micro-climate.
