Tesselaarsdal
Tesselaarsdal was founded in 2015 by long-standing Hamilton Russell Vineyards employee Berene Sauls. This wine is named after the historic Overberg farming hamlet of Tesselaarsdal not far from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge wine appellation in which Berene was born – a descendant of the freed slaves who were bequeathed the land by former East India Company settler Johannes Tesselaar in 1810. Extreme care is taken to ensure this small-production classically styled Pinot noir expresses the personality of the cool maritime Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge from un-irrigated vines and its elevated stony clay and iron-rich soils.
Description
A true reflection of fruit from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, the 2023 Pinot noir elegantly reflects beautiful layers of sour cherries and wild strawberries with hints of cloves. We proudly release this elegant age-worthy wine.
Food Pairing
Grilled Norwegian salmon with a soy ginger sauce, mushroom risotto, guinea fowl pie.
