More Information

In the cellar

After picking the grapes were destalked and crushed. The mash was cooled to 10°C and skin contact followed for 24 hours. Sulphur dioxide and ascorbic acid were added before skin contact took place. The average temperature during fermentation was 14-16°C. After fermentation, the wine was left on its lees for as long as possible. Protein and tartrate stabilisation took place before bottling.

In the vineyard

The grapes were hand harvested at optimal ripeness.

Ageing

This wine should be drank now to really appreciate the fruitiness, however, it can be aged for a further 2 years if stored in the correct conditions.

Cultivar

Sauvignon Blanc

Food Pairing

About the Wine Estate

Seymour Pritchard bought the 10-hectare farm, Malvern Heights, in 1969 from Colonel JW Billingham, who had named the farm after the rolling hills around Malvern in his native England. When winemaking came into Seymour’s sights in the mid-1980’s, France was still the epicentre of the wine universe. He then added some “French Flair” to the name and changed it to Clos Malverne, due to the homestead on the farm being reminiscent of a Clos in France.
