A unique, full -bodied red blend, with Pinotage, South Africa's own cultivar. Pleasantly dry tannins, spicy with underlying fruit (ripe berries).
Critic's Tasting Note:
"Notes of ripe dark fruit, walnut, leather and chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied with a chalky tannin structure and bright acidity. Shows savory notes and a dry, velvety finish. Drink now."

The Clos Malverne wine farm was established by owner Seymour Pritchard in 1969 with the first commercial wine released in 1988. Ten years' later, the first Cape Blend (Auret) was produced, garnering a 5 Star review from the John Platter Wine Guide.
Food Match: Great with a fillet steak and rich truffle sauce.
