The special nature of this wine is largely attributable to the vineyard itself. The Muscat grapes in this vineyard were planted as early as 1926 and continue to produce top-quality grapes today. The yield is low, but the quality is sky-high! Moreover, this Weltevrede vineyard is the only vineyard in South Africa designated a protected landscape by the National Monuments Commission. Oupa se Wyn is also a tribute to Weltevrede's founder, Klaas Jonker, as his portrait appears on the label.
Oupa se Wyn Weltevrede is a fortified wine. After harvest, the grapes ferment briefly on the skins. After 24 hours, they are pressed, and alcohol is added to halt fermentation. This ensures that Oupa se Wyn Weltevrede remains deliciously sweet and full-bodied.
