This one, from Swartland, is the definitive crowd pleaser, with its bright red fruit and spicy seasoning. There’s depth and complexity for those that take time to look for it but really this is all about pleasure.’ The Wine Merchant magazine, May 2023.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom selected vineyards on Swartland’s granite-rich, alluvial soils which produce low yields of small concentrated berries. Hand picked and naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks. 30 % whole bunch, 70% whole berry fermented to add complexity and tannin structure. Pump overs done once daily during fermentation. With fermentation done, wine is pressed and returned to tank for Malolactic fermentation. 15% spends a few months in older 300 litre barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm and open on the nose with invitingly ripe redcurrant and raspberry fruit and a hint of spice.

It was the simple love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led us to South Africa in 1994, where we pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then we have been exploring the country's amazing vineyards to make fabulous wines from specific sites and plots that scream location, location, terroir.. Our home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw and Ryno Booysen drive the energy and enthuasiam for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey's expertise in finesse. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries. We use a combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wenlock Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56576417038680,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/2243\/6184\/files\/SAB325.png?v=1769075878","url":"https:\/\/wenlockcellars.co.uk\/products\/here-there-malbec-wo-swartland-2025","provider":"Wenlock Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
