Under Oaks Wines

The Estate & Terroir

Nestled in the picturesque Bovlei Valley, part of the renowned Paarl wine region, lies the Under Oaks wine estate. It owes its name to the majestic, centuries-old oak trees that define the property and provide shade. This special terroir, characterized by fertile soils and an ideal climate, offers perfect conditions for growing a variety of grape cultivars. The warm days and cool nights allow grapes of exceptional quality and aromatic intensity to ripen. Under Oaks stands for wines that strike a balance between New World power and European elegance.

Wine Ranges in Our Collection

The Under Oaks portfolio at The WineStore showcases the full diversity of the region. You will find classic, single-varietal wines that perfectly reflect the Paarl terroir. These include powerful reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, and the South African classic, Pinotage. Among the white wines, the fresh Sauvignon Blanc, the complex Chenin Blanc, and the elegant Chardonnay are sure to impress. The artful blends hold a special place. Wines such as 'Gemini', 'Grande Dame', and 'The Secret' are the estate's flagships, demonstrating the full skill of the winemaking team. They are complex and age-worthy wines that deserve special moments.

Food Pairing

The versatility of Under Oaks wines makes them wonderful food companions. The full-bodied red wines like Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon pair excellently with a South African braai, grilled steak, rack of lamb, or hearty stews. The Pinotage is a great partner for game dishes or spicy casseroles. The white wines are more flexible: a chilled Sauvignon Blanc harmonizes with seafood, salads, and goat cheese, while the Chardonnay or Chenin Blanc are ideal with roasted chicken, fish dishes with creamy sauces, or pasta.
