About the wine

Does the name Mystical Corner bring to mind magicians, witchcraft or the occult for you? It did for us. This wine is lovingly handcrafted by the Malan family, high up a mountain on their tiny estate in Stellenbosch. But to be honest we're not entirely convinced that they haven't used some black magic to conjure this up rich, smooth, dark wine at such an unnaturally and astonishingly reasonable price. 

Tasting notes

Punchy and fruit-forward, this juicy Beaujolais-style wine is bursting with blackcurrant, raspberry, and black cherry, wrapped in vanilla, woody spices, and dark chocolate. The Wizard’s preferred tipple. 

The nose is rich and expressive, with dark berries, plums, and black cherries layered with hints of warm spice, cocoa, and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, supple tannins and bright acidity create a smooth, well-rounded mouthfeel, leading to a long, elegant finish with a lingering touch of sweetness and spice.

About the winemaker

This is proper family endeavour. Dr Jacques Malan gave up his practice to pursue his love of wine. Now his son Anton makes the wine and his other son Francois tends the vines of the 22 hectare estate in Stellenbosch. The vineyards rise up from the valley floor to 550m above sea level high up the Jonkershoek Mountain.
