The Oldenburg Vineyards Rhodium has a radiant, carmine colour. Blackcurrants, herbs and aromatic wood smoke mark the nose. This is followed in the mouth by ripe raspberries and caramel giving the wine a great finesse. The tannins are already accessible making the wine smooth and fleshy.
Rhodium is a very rare metal. South Africa produces most of the world’s production. It is used in premium jewellery and as a catalyst for processes which are essentially sustainable. Rhodium embodies the attributes of this wine: it’s of South African origin, very low production and premium orientation.
The Rhodium is a blend of Merlot (53%), Cabernet Franc (40%) and Malbec (7%)
