Welmoed Cabernet Sauvignon is produced by Welmoed, under Stellenbosch Vineyards in the Western Cape of South Africa. It is crafted to deliver classic Cabernet character—ripe black currant, berry fruits, and a measure of oak integration. The wine is meant to be approachable yet structured, offering value while reflecting the heritage and terroir of Stellenbosch.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Deep ruby red, saturated core, with a slight garnet edge.
-
Aroma: Rich in blackcurrant and mulberries, with dark berries prominent; subtle oak spice complements the fruit.
-
Palate: Full-bodied, with concentrated dark fruit (blackberry, cassis), firm tannins, and a hint of oak that adds structure without overwhelming the fruit.
-
Finish: Lingering finish with dark fruit fading into oak spice; smooth but with a sturdy aftertaste.
-
ABV: ~ 14% (product listings vary slightly but this is typical for this wine style in its market).
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve at about 16-18 °C to allow aromatics and tannins to open suitably.
- Best paired with hearty dishes: grilled red meats (steak, lamb), game, rich stews, or roasted vegetables.
- Also pairs nicely with aged cheeses like cheddar or gouda that can stand up to its structure.
- If young, decanting 30-45 minutes can help soften tannins.
