Located in Stellenbosch, the farm of Welmoed was first granted to Governor Simon van der Stel in 1690. Over the years, many great wines have been produced in the Welmoed cellar. Today, Welmoed maintains its proud winemaking tradition.

in the vineyard : The grapes were selected from premium vineyard blocks in the Stellenbosch region. The vines were grown and managed for a small yield in a cool Mediterranean climate and loamy clay soils.

in the cellar : The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness from end-February to mid-March, followed by cold soaking and a slow fermentation process that lead to an intense extract with excellent flavour profile. Fermentation took place at 24º to 27º Celsius in static red fermenters. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured in stainless steel tanks with 2g/l of selected medium toast French oak staves for approximately eight months.
