Description

The 2019 Oude Nektar is a captivating Bordeaux-style blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot. This exceptional vintage has a regal elegance, with aromatics of rose petals, violets, blackberries, raspberries, and a hint of smoky embers. On the palate, it balances a vibrant core of earthy black currant and black cherry fruits with silky, soft tannins. The wine is full-bodied yet light on its feet, with a harmonious finish of bright acidity and saline nuances. Maturation for 20 months in 300-litre French oak barrels (65% new) further enhances the wine’s precision, depth, and complexity.

Food Pairing: Ideal for grilled red meats, lamb, and game.

Producer Profile

This signature wine is the bedrock of Stark-Conde, showcasing the excellence of the Jonkershoek Valley. Blended with traditional Bordeaux varietals, it reveals rich blackberry fruit aromas, complemented by tea-leaf and cedar wood notes. The palate is polished and full of dark fruit and mocha flavors, with balanced acidity and a long finish, highlighted by the fine tannins typical of the valley. Aged for 20 months in French oak (30% new), this wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
