And so we have come to the middle of the year, I stand corrected, passed the middle of the year. What a fantastic year it has been. We have just received a Great Gold Medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles for our Pinotage Reserve 2007. It has been a good year with lots of ups and downs and at Clos Malverne we are proud to say amidst the Credit Crunch we still gave it our all and came out on top and we thank you all. We look forward to the next couple of months, but believe the ride is still going to be tough, but thank you for your support until now. All this was due to producing top quality wine at most affordable prices and this will be our motto for many moons to come.
We have tried from our side to help our four legged friends. In the cold winter things are really tough and with the Credit Crunch sponsors have become few. We have arranged gourmet dinners with live jazz music, wine presentation by myself and a wine auction done by Dave Hughes. But sadly the response has not been good and we have had to cancel three of these events. The one event we did have was a fantastic evening and very well received. I urge you all to come and support and assist us in helping our four legged friends in a fun enjoyable way.
 My personal pick for the mailing will be without a doubt the Pinotage Reserve 2007 as this is the first wine where you can see Charl’s influence as it was his choice to leave the wine in the barrel much longer than we normally do to give it that more mature and elegant structure without sacrificing any of the traditional Clos Malverne style. Must admit, I am very excited to see what he will do with the Auret and Cabernet / Shiraz. It will also be the first time in history that Clos Malverne has opted to leave its Sauvignon Blanc 2009 on the lees for as long as we have. So this will truly be a focused wine with a crisp and fresh finish and all those lovely flavours that we have come accustomed to. This wine will be released towards the end of the year, so enjoy the last of the 2008 vintage which has really shown it’s true character and is currently still doing exceptionally well in Europe.
Furthermore The Spa has been running for 7 months with great success and I urge you all to come and treat yourself to a really special occasion, buy a gift card or voucher for those dear to you, as nothing says I like you as much as a soft feeling refreshed skin. Please contact Belinda directly and please look out for all the specials she always runs. For those who have not visited us as yet, this is your personal invite. All our privileged customers are entitled to a FREE wine tasting as well as 10% OFF on any spa treatment. Come treat your senses.
