Smells like an old leather belt, tastes better than almost all the wine I’ve ever tasted (a 1987 Delheim Grand Reserve still wins though). I’d give this 20/10 if I hadnt coded myself into a 10/10 fuelled corner.
Welgemeend Red Blend 1983
About The Wine Diary
I am not a wine expert. I am not in the wine industry. I can get a bit pretentious when describing wine sometimes, and other times I can't think of a word to describe what I'm tasting. I do love wine, drink a lot of it, live in the Western Cape of South Africa and visit a lot of wine farms though.
Hopefully this site will help strangers to SA wine pick a good bottle over a bad one, and visit the better wine farms that I've enjoyed. At worst, at least I will be able to use it to remember what is was I was drinking last night!
Hello,
How much would a bottle of welgemeende red blend 1983 be worth?
I have a bottle of it at home with soms kind of certificaten label on it.
Kind regards

Hi Toon,
I paid R180 for this bottle. Looking at the invoice, it looks like it was part of a two-for-one special though.
I guess the value of your bottle would depend on how well its been stored.
I’m not in the business of buying and selling wine though, just drinking it 🙂
