A deliciously fresh, succulent expression of Malbec from low yielding Swartland vineyards.
Production
The Vineyards for the Malbec from the Swartland’s granite rich alluvial soils. These vineyards produce low yields and small concentrated berries. Hand picked and naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks. 30 % whole bunch, 70 % whole berry fermented to add to complexity and tannin structure. Pump overs done once daily during fermentation. With fermentation done, wine is pressed and returned to tank for Malolactic fermentation. 15% will undergo Malo in older 300 litre barrels.
Here & There Malbec, Swartland 2024 (6 bottles case)
Tasting notes
Warm and open on the nose with invitingly ripe redcurrant and raspberry fruit and a hint of spice. Juicy and approachable on the palate with a core of gentle red berry fruit nicely balanced by fresh acidity and a rounded, supple finish.
Food match
A versatile style which goes well with a variety of food such as vegetable lasagne, pizzas or pasta.

Meet the producer
Boutinot South Africa is driven by our passion for discovery and desire to capture the real essence of South Africa in every bottle. It was the simple love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led us to South Africa in 1994, where we pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in this region.
Since then we have been exploring the country's amazing vineyards to make fabulous wines from specific sites and plots that scream location, location, terroir.. Our home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw and Ryno Booysen drive the energy and enthuasiam for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey's expertise in finesse. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries. We use a combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years.
