A reserve wine is wine of a higher quality than usual, a wine that has been aged longer in barrels before bottling. Wineries will use the word 'reserve' to designate a wine of outstanding quality. A  is one that has undergone a aging process of at least 24 months (2 years).
Debenture as far as I can tell is a grape extract or grape must or concentrate obtained from grapes.

CLOS MALVERNE (1969-present)
Seymour Pritchard bought the farm in 1969 from Colonel Billingham who named the farm Malvern after the rolling hills in his native England. Seymour later gave a French flair to it and called the farm Clos Malverne.  By 1985, Clos Malverne had been supplying its wine grapes to Stellenbosch Farmers Winery for a number of years, when Jeremy Walker, now of Grangehurst farm, suggested to Seymour at a braai on Christmas Eve that they make wine from grapes on his farm. Therefore, 800 bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon were made in 1986, and the 1987 vintage was so encouraging, that Seymour decided to go into winemaking full time. The Cabernet Sauvignon 88 was the first release to the public, and a year later Jeremy Walker joined Seymour as full-time winemaker.
During the 90s Clos Malverne made significant inroads into the wine business, increased its vineyard plantations, which included Pinotage for the first time. Other red varietals, including Merlot and Shiraz, were also planted on selected sites with specific soil compositions to ensure the growth of premium grapes. In 1995 Clos Malverne was one of the very first wineries to produce a classic Cape Blend (a red wine consisting of at least 30% Pinotage, but not more than 70%). The wine was such a success that the flagship wine, called the Clos Malverne Auret, was the first Cape Blend ever to receive 5-star status in the prestigious Platter Wine Guide. After receiving such high praise, the same wine went on to be the South African Red Wine Champion in 2001; it was eventually awarded the Grand Prize as most outstanding wine (red or white) of that year.
Clos Malverne is truly a family affair. Besides overseeing the entire operation, Seymour and his wife Sophia (who also attends to the accounting), have spent enormous time and effort successfully developing international markets for Clos Malverne. At present about 70% of their wines are exported to various international destinations, including the United Kingdom; Ireland; The Netherlands; Germany; Switzerland; the USA; Asia and more.
