Groenlandberg Pinot Noir

Serve with teriyaki salmon, pork medallions and roasted duck.

The 2019 growing season was typically col but relatively dry which gave us very healthy grapes with very good concentration of flavour. The summer was mild with cool nights that ensured gradual ripeness and retention of natural acidities. The week leading up to harvest we experienced warmer days and nights which caused a sudden accumulation of sugar in the vineyards. Fortunately we were able to harvest all our blocks in time and the result was a very intense, compact harvest but with resulting wines proudly representing the unique vintage.

Gentle punch downs and consistent approach to French Oak maturation allows one to truly experience wine grown in a very special place.

Oak Valley is situated high along the Groenlandberg Mountain Range in one of the coolest wine growing regions in South Africa; Elgin. Attention to detail in the vineyards and our minimalist intervention approach in the cellar is what shapes our cool climate wine styles. Oak Valley’s signature is elegance.
