AWARDS

Decanter World Wine Awards 2012 - Commended

in the vineyard : Label detail: Langarm 'straight-arm' captures the mood of the Cape at the end of a long working week. It can be danced to just about any kind of music, but 'Boeremusiek' is definitely best. We dance it with our arms extended like melodramatic windsurfers. Outsiders find it comical, but that is only until they have tried it.

The Name: The name of the wine combines Richard Astor’s love of music with his dislike of pomposity. Easy drinking, approachable and well-priced, this is a fun wine, with no pretensions backed by the Solms-Delta reputation for quality.

History of farm: The more than 320 year old Franschhoek farm has reclaimed its historic role as a wine estate under the direction of Prof. Mark Solms, a world renowned neuroscientist.

in the cellar : Style of Wine: Cape Blend
Vinification: Traditional pump over. Fermentation at warm temperature for maximum fruit extraction. No extended skin contact.
