- A delicately flavoured Pinot Noir with aromas of red plum complemented by herbal and smoky notes through to a fresh and leafy finish. With layers of flavour, vibrant aromas of red cherry, dark chocolate, and deep plum are enlivened by a deft use of oak, imparting spicy notes of clove, cinnamon, and spice.
The grapes were hand-picked at optimal maturity. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks with gentle pump-overs extracting flavour, aromatics and tannins. The wine went through malolactic conversion in the tank. The wine was matured for 18 months in a selection of new and second-fill French oak barrels. The wine was clarified by cross-flow filtration.

Winery | Ernst subscribes to the French philosophy that the quality of the grape is inextricably linked to the "terroir", so he travels to various regions throughout the Western Cape and handpicks his grapes in the areas where they naturally grow at their very best. The Pinot Noir grapes are grown on the West Coast, just three miles from the sea, where the vineyard overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. The revitalising sea breezes create balancing freshness in the grapes, showcased in this beautifully composed Pinot Noir. |
