Swartland, South Africa
2022
14% ABV
A deliciously fresh, succulent expression of Malbec from low yielding Swartland vineyards.
Warm and open on the nose with invitingly ripe redcurrant and raspberry fruit and a hint of spice. Juicy and approachable on the palate with a core of gentle red berry fruit nicely balanced by fresh acidity and a rounded, supple finish.
Food match
A versatile style which goes well with a variety of food such as vegetable lasagne, pizzas or pasta.
Production
The Vineyards for the Malbec from the Swartland’s granite rich alluvial soils. These vineyards produce low yields and small concentrated berries. Hand picked and naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks. 30 % whole bunch, 70 % whole berry fermented to add to complexity and tannin structure. Pump overs done once daily during fermentation. With fermentation done, wine is pressed and returned to tank for Malolactic fermentation. 15% will undergo Malo in older 300 litre barrels.
