The Groenlandberg is an isolated, cloud-catching mountain in Elgin, and these vines sit high on its slopes on clay-rich Bokkeveld shale. Ocean breezes and frequent cloud cover slowing ripening and holding on to acidity. Oak Valley has farmed here since 1898, now under the fifth generation of the Viljoen family, and only began bottling its own wine in 2003. Barrel-fermented and matured ten months in 300-litre barrels, 30% new: jasmine and blossom over lemon peel, pear, peach and granadilla, with a flinty edge, dense fruit and a long saline, linear finish.
