in the vineyard : Most probably the most outspoken red of the Welmoed range. Premium blocks are chosen prior to harvest, manage in such a way for quite low yields every year. All fruit are sourced from the Stellenbosch region with its Mediterranean climate and loamy clay soils.

about the harvest: Harvested at optimum ripeness from end February to mid March.

in the cellar : Cold soaking and slow fermentation process leads to good intense extract with excellent flavour profile. Fermentation takes place in static red fermenters at temperature of 24° - 27° C. Malolactic fermentation and maturation in stainless steel tank with 2g/lt of selected medium toast French oak staves for 10 months.
