Although the valley is shallow it acts as a natural receptacle for the morning summer mists that linger around Stellenbosch. The valley is cooler than surrounding areas, significantly lengthening the ripening season, resulting in very ripe grapes. The vineyards are mostly planted on the gently sloping terrain of the valley. Seymour recently purchased two other farms very close to Clos Malverne. Dwars in die Weg has 11 hectares under vine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc). All vines are drip irrigated using water from the farm dam. Carlsrus has 4 hectares under vine (all Pinotage) using drip irrigation with water obtained from Teewaterskloof dam. Clos Malverne’s 10 hectares of vineyards (Pinotage, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz) also have drip irrigation using water from Teewaterskloof dam. Clos Malverne uses a traditional “handmade” style of winemaking. The grapes are softly basket pressed and they still use open fermentation tanks. Also caps are punched down by hand. The cellar can handle up to 400 tons although the yield from the vineyards is presently running at 350 tons per annum. French and American oak are used to mature their red wines. Additions to the cellar were completed for the 2003 harvest. They included extra barrel maturation facilities and wine storage. 2008 Awards Cabernet/Merlot 2006 - Swiss International Air Lines Wine Awards - Bronze Medal Auret 2006 - Decanter International Competition Awards - Bronze Medal Pinotage Reserve 2006 - Selections Mondiales Des Vins Canada - Silver Medal - Decanter International Competition Awards - Bronze Medal - International Wine Challenge Competition - Bronze Medal Wines of South Africa Annual Trade and Press Tasting - London - Harpers - Kate Thal " Clos Malverne Auret Cabernet/Pinotage/Merlot was one of the best wines I have tasted in a long time."
