AWARDS
The Malbec 2019 received the Double Gold award at the 2020 National Wine Challenge.

This wine brings a whole new twist to how Malbec has been perceived in the past. The wine is rich, ruby red in colour and fruity – with beautiful aromas of mocha and chocolate!

in the vineyard : 

Our single varietal Malbec was inspired by the beautiful, fruit driven wine also blended into Bordeaux blends. Our 2 hectare block of Malbec is situated high up along the Simonsberg on Vrede en Lust and was planted in 1997. Due to the demand of Mocholate, we planted 3 hectares of Malbec in 2011.

 

in the cellar : Picked at 24.5 ° Balling, the grapes undergo a day of cold soaking pre-fermentation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The grapes are pressed before fermentation finishes and malolactic fermentation takes place on oak until bottling.
