Product information "Clos Malverne Spirit of Malverne 2015"
Clos Malverne Spirit of Malverne presents itself as a great, juicy and incredibly powerful wine. Intense notes of blueberry together with the harmonious warm spice of Shiraz are combined in a well integrated and skilful way with clearly defined nuances of French oak. Tight tannins, great length and a smooth finish make this wine an unforgettable pleasure.

The grapes for this Cape Blend were hand-picked at optimum ripeness and then destemmed, crushed and fermented on the skins for 7 days at a regulated 24-30° C. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed in the traditional basket press, after which the free flowing juice was transferred to 300 l barrels made from 100% new French oak and spontaneous malolactic fermentation was allowed. The wine then spent 18 months in barrique. At the end of aging, Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz were blended and the blend matured for another 9 months in the bottle.
