in the vineyard
Label detail; Langarm 'straight-arm' captures the mood of the Cape at the end of a long working week. It can be danced to just about any kind of music, but 'Boeremusiek' is definitely best. We dance it with our arms extended like melodramatic windsurfers. Outsiders find it comical, but that is only until they have tried it.
The Name: The name of the wine combines Richard Astor’s love of music with his dislike of pomposity. Easy drinking, approachable and well-priced, this is a fun wine, with no pretensions backed by the Solms-Delta reputation for quality.
 
in the cellar
Traditional pump over. Fermentation at warm temperature for maximum fruit extraction. No extended skin contact.
Maturation: Matured for 4 months in seasoned French oak barrels
