Oolde is the protected wine name of a hamlet in Lochem, Gelderland. It has held Dutch BOB status since November 2018, a category known in English as PDO. The designation currently covers one two-hectare vineyard, Wijngoed Gelders Laren.
The soil is loamy sand with 10 to 50 percent loam, a mineral top layer under 50 centimetres thick and up to 12 percent clay particles. Solaris and Cabernet Blanc are the named white varieties; Cabernet, Pinotin and Regent are the red varieties. Oolde's dossier covers still wine, liqueur wine, quality sparkling wine, perlwein and wine made from overripe grapes.
Oolde is one of Gelderland's three BOB subareas, alongside Achterhoek-Winterswijk and Rivierenland. The name applies to this small protected area, not to Gelderland as a whole.
