Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir. The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley represents that unique combination of soil and climate that exists in only a handful of places where the exact balance provides the perfect expression of this elusive grape.
Taste Profile: It is classically old world, velvety, with a rich fruity expression. This outstanding Pinot Noir has flavours of dark cherry, wild berry, espresso and cinnamon spice, ending in a long earthy finish. It is a wine that has great aging potential under optimal cellar conditions.
Winemaking Process: The use of whole grape bunches or clusters during fermentation, is a much discussed subject, as it plays a significant role in the general feel, as well as the aromatic composition of the eventual wine. A portion of the fruit was not destemmed. Following an average of 21 days on skin, the wines were delicately pressed and barrelled down to French oak for 11months maturation.
From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.
These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
