TASTING NOTES
The Frans Malan Reserve will take you on an unforgettable journey to show you what a Cape style blend is all about. Sweet and spicy vanilla oak support the layers of seductive flavours of the three cultivars. The sweet fruit of Pinotage, well developed tannin structure of cabernet sauvignon and the dry lingering finish of Merlot makes this wine a true Cape Style blend in every way.
