Description

Southeast of Cape Town, in the cool, high-lying valley of Hemel-en-Aarde, amid extraordinary biodiversity rooted in schist soils, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have found a new home.

The cool oceanic nights give rise to ripe grapes with beautiful freshness, which this 48-month Champagne-method wine on lees captures perfectly: fine, dynamic bubbles, an elegant, mouthwatering acidity, and a structure that gradually gains volume from the Pinot Noir, all wrapped in aromas of citrus fruit, nectarine, raspberry, and brioche.
94% Pinot Noir, 6% Chardonnay. Hand-harvested. Brut Nature. More than 48 months on lees before disgorgement.

Winemaker: Carolyn Martin
Viticulturist: Jean-Claude Martin
