Questions about wine ageability are never easy to answer. How a wine tastes depends on many variables. To learn more, please read
"How Long Should I Age My Wine?" by our winemaker, Shiraz Mottiar.
At regular intervals Shiraz visits the Malivoire wine library to review our past vintages, evaluate their progress and estimate their future progress. His notes will be posted in this section. Please click on any of the wines listed here to see his most recent observations. Library wines yet to be reviewed will display their original detailed vinification notes.
