Pinot Noir

This wine complements white meat dishes wonderfully, such as line fish, tandoori chicken, and Asian cuisine. It is best enjoyed slightly chilled.

The 2023 Pinot Noir emerged as a remarkable vintage, possibly the best we have ever produced. The season gifted us with timely spring rains and a gradual ripening process, resulting in a wine that is both well-balanced and vibrant. Baleia believes that living soils - strong roots - healthy vines - perfectly ripened fruit. We believe that through science and meticulous farming with attention to the details, we can produce grapes that truly reflect the terroir in which they are grown.

Situated on the lime-rich soils on the cliff banks of the Duivenhoks River, Baleia is a unique terroir standing alone on this beautiful district of the Cape South Coast. A stone’s throw away from Sebastian’s Bay and the towns of Vermaklikheid and Stilbaai, the wines smell of the ocean!
