Welmoed Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Excellent deep ruby red holding well to the edge. Nose is reminiscent of red berry fruits with hints of lead pencil, cedar and vanillin. Excellent, well structured entrance with ripe, dry tannins and a good berry-fruit mid-palate and lingering rich finish. Serve with Tzatziki roast beef or roast rack of lamb with sautéed or pickled vegetables.

The vines are planted on loamy sand and weathered granite soil, on the lower slopes.
