Under Oaks: Craftsmanship from the Bovlei Valley

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.
