Some wine experts believe that it is relatively easy to distinguish between Old and New Wine styles.

Wine critic, David Falchek , believes that knowing Old World wines from New World wines is pretty obvious. You will see those terms all the time. Old World, basically all of Europe, produces wines often described as subtle, earthy, minerally and elegant. New World wines – think U.S., Australia, South America and South Africa – are often described as big, fruity, juicy and rich.

The Old World is all about location, location, location. With centuries of trial and error behind the Europeans, the place the grapes were grown is all-important. Often, the grape variety is not even mentioned. In the Old World, wine is nearly always consumed with food and wines are made to match with food. In the New World, wines tend to made to be enjoyed by themselves.

The New World, remember, is still relatively new at wine. So it focuses on the grape variety and the region to a lesser extent. Without centuries-long pedigrees, they rely on modern, scientific winemaking techniques.

It seems that the purchasing decisions of the consumers, which have a abundant choice of Old and New wine styles, are moving away from stereotyping regions and move towards brand or style specific choices.

Welmoed is a New-World wine enjoyed in many European counties including Holland, Germany and Denmark.

One of these versatile wines is the Welmoed Merlot. This is a well balanced wine with ripe fruit mid-palate and persistent yet soft tannin finish. Wood well integrated and complements a well-balanced medium bodied wine.
