We produce this classic red wine because we believe - and past vintages have proven so - that our area under viticultural practise being the host to all our estate grown cultivars required for this blend is of exceptional quality. Other wines from this area have proven their part. Due to the relatively cooler climate but yet with many intense heat units we can produce a wine hinting to typical old world style bordeaux blends. It is the 'classic' wine in our compact product range of three wines. To purchase it visit our website wedderwill.co.za.
Style: A classic, elegant Bordeaux cultivar wine arises through finely-balanced tannins and oaks. Whiffs of cassis and plum notes play harmoniously on the nose before stronger plum undertones, courtesy of the merlot, enrich the palate. A succulent spiciness resonates on both nose and palate, while the organic ?mineraliness? of our terroir is evident in the form of dark, mushroom-forest floor flavours which adds a distinctive earthiness.
Origin:These grapes are chosen from seven different blocks, giving a very versatile selection of styles, clones and cultivars. The blocks of clones are from CS46C & 1C, MO343A and others, where some are our oldest blocks, planted in 1997, and the younger ones being 2001. All of them are situated on the slightly north-facing slopes on the eastern Schaapenberg Ridge, a slightly warmer section of the farm. Most of the Cabernet blocks are planted on oakleaf and clovelly soils, except for two blocks on glenrosa soils.
