"Made with comparatively young fruit from a block planted with the 777 clone, this is a compact, layered, well-structured Pinot Noir that has appealing perfume and texture from 30% whole bunches, savoury tannins, pithy redcurrant, plum and pink grapefruit flavours and an earthy finish. 2025-31" – Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2025, 92 points
Taste profile
On the palate
Red cherry and raspberry bring an appealing lift to this Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot Noir, with perfume adding aromatic detail. Natural fermentation and older French oak support the fruit without overwhelming it. A lovely direction for Pinot Noir drinkers who favour red-fruit expression and restraint.
