Winner of a Double Gold award at the Gilbert & Gaillard competition in 2022.

This South African Pinot Noir is a beautiful ruby colour with delicate aromas of pomegranate, rhubarb and hints of spices. On the palate there are falvours of wild strawberry with a round lingering finish of cherry. This an elegant wine, well balanced with subtle French Oak and red fruits.

A certain amount of sorting and selection took place in the vineyards leaving sun-burnt berries on the vines. Once de-stemmed, the berries underwent a second sorting, which further removed exc ess stems, raisin berries and leaves, before proceeding to whole-berry fermentation in a wooden vat. A soft tannin structure was achieved through regular pump -overs and punch-downs. The total maturation of the skins was 15 days and once malo-lactic fermentation was completed the wine further matured in 225 L French oak barrels for 14 consecutive months.

Pair with grilled salmon, tuna or lighter, mildly prepared beef or pork .

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is the holy grail grape for many winemakers, it is a difficult mistress, but when made well it shines.

Young Pinot Noir has delicious aromas of cherries, raspberries, and strawberries. With age it develops complexity and mystery. Older wines have the capacity to become a gamey style of wine, and the best examples show autumnal notes of truffles, mushrooms, and forest floor.
