This Mediterranean cultivar grows very well in South Africa. The Malbec grapes were sourced from Tulbagh. Our seasoned winemaker, Andries Blake has 25 years of wine making experience and this enabled him to select the best grapes for the Blake Boys’ Malbec.
The vineyard received supplementary irrigation when necessary through a drip system. The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning and cooled down. After crushing, the juice remained on the skins for 24 hours before it is inoculated with yeast. Fermentation took place in small stainless steel tanks . After malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in French oak casks for 12 months.
Floral and violet fragrances with a hint of liquorice. A rich and full wine with plum and berry flavours – it is supported by well-rounded tannins and integrated oak flavours. It will partner well with smokey cured beef, pasta or dishes with a plum compote.
