Iona
Iona is the coolest vineyard in the Cape 420m above sea-level high above the picturesque Elgin Valley. It is surrounded by the Kogelberg Nature Reserve and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean in the South. In a country where cool sites are precious these vineyards are like gold — the grapes ripening up to two months later than other Cape vineyards and in perfect balance.
Description
The Iona Pinot Noir 2021 offers a beautifully perfumed nose with floral notes of rose petals and vibrant red fruit, including black and red cherries and strawberries, along with underlying spice. On the palate, it is succulent and textured, with fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish. Its vibrant acidity gives the wine exceptional freshness and balance.
Food Pairing
This Pinot Noir pairs perfectly with rich dishes like Beef Bourguignon or braised lamb shanks, where the wine’s acidity and savory notes complement hearty, slow-cooked meats.
