Baleia
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!
Description
Cultivated in calcium-rich soils, this Pinot Noir delivers a robust style characterized by delightful fruit complexity, impressive structure, and velvety tannins. This distinctive Pinot Noir showcases an aromatic bouquet of dried spices, figs, strawberry confection, and cinnamon. On the palate, you’ll find subtle spices, luscious fruit, granular tannins, and hints of wild strawberry.
Food Pairing
This wine complements white meat dishes wonderfully, such as line fish, tandoori chicken, and Asian cuisine. It is best enjoyed slightly chilled.
