About this Item

1987 Red
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

This wine has been checked and re-corked by Amorim, under the protection of an argon gas blanket, with each opened bottle being topped up with reserve wine from the same vintage, recorked, and resealed. This was done under the supervision of a technical team from Amorim Corks and Strauss & Co Fine wine Specialists Higgo Jacobs and Roland Peens, assuring provenance, quality and long life. The Seal code on the neck of the bottle can be traced on Amorim Recorking Directory
A rare piece of South African vinous history. Welgemeend was among the pioneering estates to embrace a Bordeaux-inspired approach to red winemaking in the Cape during the 1970s and 1980s.

Critics Ratings

'Very savoury and spice. Bright and vivid, lacy and long. Deep lush and Rhône-like. Old school finish. Long!' - Roland Peens 94/100, (July 2025)
