At the helm are the Malan family, descendants of the French Huguenot Jacques Malan who first arrived in the Cape in 1688, although it was the late Frans Malan who pioneered much of what the company stands for today.

- Tasting Notes:
This fruit delicious forward Pinotage displays a dark crimson colour. Bursting with sappy red berry fruit such as red cherry and raspberry, there is a touch of sweet spice that creates interest. The wine washes over the palate with an energetic freshness and good depth of flavour. The majority of the juice is unoaked, but around 10% of the blend will spend time in old French oak for 8 months.
