Of a deep red colour in the glass, the Clos Malverne Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve presents itself in the glass and ensnares the nose with an inviting bouquet of dark fruit and subtle hints of fine mint and cassis. These already sniffed aromas are seamlessly carried through to the complex and smooth palate, where a tight tannin structure and balance complete the pleasure.

The grapes for this reserve Cabernet Sauvignon were hand-picked at optimum maturity and on arrival at the winery were destemmed, crushed and fermented on the skins in open tanks for seven days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to the traditional basket press, after which the resulting wine completed malolactic fermentation in steel tanks. Finally, the wine matured for 12 months in French barriques and was only slightly filtered before bottling.
