Elegant and expressive, this Stellenbosch Pinot Noir opens with delicate aromas of forest floor, wild strawberry, and a whisper of cedar. The palate is rich yet refined, offering layers of red fruit, subtle minerality, and a touch of dried peach. Hints of black cherry and oak add depth, while fine acidity carries through to a lingering, gently spiced finish. A beautifully balanced wine with Old World charm and South African character. Perfect for collectors and cool-climate Pinot lovers.
Crafted from a selection of Pinot Noir clones and unique vineyard parcels, this wine reflects careful blending and attention to detail. We use both pump-overs and traditional punch-downs to gently extract flavor and tannin. Fermentation is completed in classic Burgundy barrels, allowing the wine to develop a seamless, integrated texture. The result is a refined Pinot Noir that speaks of its origin with elegance and balance.
