Malbec Reserve

Wonderfully paired with grilled meats, rich tomato based dishes and stews or can also be enjoyed with a mature cheese board and sweet preserves. Always a hit at any Braai! (BBQ)

Wine was aged in oak for 20 months; 30% new French oak barrels and the rest in 3rd and 4th fill barrels.

Fermentation initiated in a small open-top tank. With the use of a vibration table, hand sorting is done to ensure only the best berries are selected and sent to tank. After a period of cold maceration (48 hours), the tank was inoculated with commercial yeast to begin fermentation. Pump overs and manual punch downs were regularly done during fermentation to maximise extraction. Wine then left on the skins for an additional 30 days after fermentation for maximum flavour extraction.

Anura Vineyards is owned and run by Tymen, Jenny and Lance Bouma. Positioned on the foothills on the Simonsberg Mountains, Anura boasts a wide variety of soils, slopes and microclimates. This allows us to grow a wide selection of cultivars, some uncommon in South Africa, and also to match each cultivar with its ideal soil and microclimate. With each passing harvest we learn more about our soils and vineyards, and refine our vineyard and cellar practices in order to create the finest wines for our unique terroir. Our passion is red wine, and with plantings of Mourvédre, Petit Verdot, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese and Malbec, among more classic, locally grown varietals, we aim to produce handcrafted wines for individuals who are looking for something unique and distinctive.
