Pinot Noir Reserve

Succulent slow roasted pork belly or braised game bird.

Pinot Noir grapes from the Franschhoek region, planted on South, South-East facing slopes.

The grapes are pressed and after malolactic fermentation the wine matures for 18 months in 225ℓ French oak barrels with 40% being new oak.

At harvest, the grapes are handpicked and 60% will undergo berry-selection on sorting tables before the whole berries are fermented in concrete tanks for 2 weeks. 40% of the grapes are whole bunch fermented.

Chamonix is a Franschhoek wine estate set against the Mont Rochelle mountain, with vineyards planted to classic French varieties and shaped by cool breezes and stony clay-rich soils. Known for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc, the estate produces mountain-influenced wines with freshness, structure and clear Franschhoek character.
