The stories behind what you will taste here.
Grape
Merlot
Some growers find Merlot fussier in the vineyard than Pinot Noir: green if picked early, heavy if picked late.
Grape
Pinotage
Pinotage was bred at Stellenbosch University in 1925, and its first four seedlings were nearly lost in a garden clean-up.
Area
The Devon Valley
Clos Malverne, in this small valley, was among the first estates to bottle a Cape Blend, in 1995.
