Wine lovers are always on the lookout for that perfect bottle – the one that feels special enough for a celebration, yet versatile enough to enjoy with a great meal.
Right now, Clos Malverne is giving enthusiasts a very good reason to clear some space in their cellar with an unmissable wine special on two of its most celebrated labels.
At the heart of the offer is the Clos Malverne Auret 2020, the estate’s flagship wine and a true expression of South African winemaking confidence.
- This distinctive Cape Blend brings together 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Pinotage and 10% Merlot, with Pinotage proudly taking centre stage. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo fermentation in open tanks before being traditionally basket-pressed – a nod to time-honoured techniques that add depth and character. After 12 to 13 months in French oak, the result is a full-bodied red with pleasantly dry tannins, layers of ripe berry fruit and a subtle, spicy backbone. It’s a wine built to impress now, with the structure to mature gracefully for five to seven years.
What makes this moment particularly exciting is the value. The Clos Malverne Auret 2020 case of six is currently available at 30% off, bringing the price down from R1800 to R1260. For a flagship wine with international acclaim and serious ageing potential, it’s the kind of deal that doesn’t come around often.
The special doesn’t stop there. Clos Malverne is also encouraging wine lovers to stock up on its Reserve Pinotage, a premium expression of South Africa’s signature varietal. Crafted in the heart of Stellenbosch, this wine showcases deep red to dark plum hues, ripe berry aromas layered with vanilla, cassis and gentle spice, and a full-bodied palate supported by firm, well-integrated tannins. With a lingering, smooth finish, it’s equally suited to immediate enjoyment or careful cellaring over the next few years. Limited quantities of the current vintage are available – and with 30% off, hesitation is not advised.
Whether paired with gourmet cuisine, shared at a special gathering, or tucked away for future enjoyment, these wines represent exceptional value and undeniable quality. For those who appreciate a bottle that tells a story of place, tradition and bold South African identity, this Clos Malverne wine special is well worth raising a glass to.
