Description
A Modern Classic from Stellenbosch The Pickled Fish range was born out of a desire to create wines that are seriously good but don’t take themselves too seriously. Sourced from the Devon Valley in Stellenbosch, this Pinotage sidesteps the “burnt rubber” or heavy smoke notes often associated with the varietal, focusing instead on pure, succulent fruit. It is a testament to Clos Malverne’s mastery of the “Basket Press” technique, ensuring a smooth, accessible mouthfeel.
Tasting Profile & Sensory Experience A vibrant, medium-bodied red that celebrates the “sweet side” of South Africa’s signature grape:
The Appearance: A bright, youthful crimson with violet highlights.
The Nose: A joyful explosion of red berries—think wild strawberries and ripe cherries—balanced by a subtle hint of sweet spice and toasted marshmallows.
The Palate: Incredibly juicy and fruit-driven. Expect a plush texture where the tannins are soft and “melting.” Notes of plum and red currants dominate, making it exceptionally easy to enjoy.
The Finish: Clean, fresh, and slightly savory, leaving you reaching for the next sip.
