The Pella Oukliprant Malbec opens with a heavenly bouquet of cherry, pomegranate and plum - aromas that continue seamlessly on the palate and harmonize wonderfully with the soft and velvety texture of the wine. Even subtle undertones of game and cocoa join the delicious taste profile and end in a long and pleasantly soft finish.
The terroir of the Malbec vines is littered with prehistoric artefacts and Acheuléen tools estimated to be around 40,000 years old. The name "Oukliprant" means in Afrikaans as much as "old stone promontory".

The grapes for the Oukliprant Malbec were hand picked, sorted and completely destemmed with great care, followed by a ten-day swelling phase at a controlled temperature of 9°C and fermentation was started at a temperature that was also kept cool. Afterwards, the product was pressed in the traditional and manually operated basket press. The wine matured for a total of 14 months in French barriques.
