    Rainbow’s End specialize in top quality, boutique, family produced estate red wines. Anton and Francois Malan, direct descendants of the French Huguenot winemaker, Jacques Malan, waited patiently for ten years for their vineyard blocks to age to perfection in order to select the best possible grapes for this artisan creation. Only the best barrels of each variety were selected, blended and aged for two years in small French oak barrels.

    What can you expect?
