Clos Malverne

Stellenbosch Cabernet and Merlot blends rated by major critics.

Clos Malverne sits in Stellenbosch, the heart of South Africa's Coastal Region, where maritime influence and mountain slopes create conditions for structured red wines. The winery focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot-based blends, grapes that thrive in this terroir. The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon anchors the portfolio, joined by a Cabernet-Merlot blend and Auret, a three-varietal composition that adds Pinotage to the Bordeaux pair. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff. The Reserve Cabernet and both blends sit at similar quality levels, suggesting a consistent approach to extraction and balance across the range. Stellenbosch's reputation for age-worthy reds with dark fruit and mineral spine finds expression here.
