Remarks
Since the French Huguenot Jacques Malan first set foot in the Cape in 1688, the Malan family's knowledge has accumulated over many generations. The late Frans Malan, beloved patriarch of the Malan family and one of the pioneers of the South African wine industry, was not only a master of fine wines but also introduced groundbreaking innovations. Today his legacy lives on through his sons Francois and Johan Malan.
