THE 9-3 STORY
October 31, 1972 – a day that has gone down in Welsh rugby folklore and the greatest in the proud history of Llanelli RFC and the Scarlets. The legendary All Blacks arrived in the West Wales town with a fearsome reputation as the greatest side on the planet, but in front of a passionate 20,000 crowd crammed into Stradey Park, the Scarlets celebrated their finest ever triumph. The 9-3 victory prompted euphoric scenes that saw captain Delme Thomas hoisted aloft by the fans. As Max Boyce famously wrote, it was the day the pubs ran dry.
The 1872 Story
In 1872, a group of young enthusiasts met on Easter weekend to establish Llanelli RFC. The rest as they say is history.
Fitting for a 150 year old celebration this blend of Merlot, Mourvèdre and Syrah comprises two of the oldest cultivars, being Syrah and Mourvèdre. This combination of ripe black fruit flavours, peppery and spicy notes of savoury black olives coupled to the great blending qualities of the plummy and raspberry Merlot has created a wine that could be enjoyed now or cellared for 5 years. This wine was grown made and bottled on the Welbedacht Wine Estate by Springbok rugby player, Schalk Burger.
